Show us your vintage day II gauges still at work today.
 
My 70s Sun Blue Line mechanical oil pressure gauge, and early 80s Auto Meter mechanical fuel pressure gauge ( well before they said Sport Comp on them).

I have been thinking about finding a Sun fuel gauge so they match, but I keep falling back to the old, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" thought.

SW green lines under the dash, for water temp and oil pressure.

I also have a old SUN water temp gauge under the dash of the Camaro, but not a blue line. I'll have to get a picture of it.

I like the gauges when they are mounted outside in a lot of cases. Here's my 66 from the late 80's.

Being mechanical gauges, I'd rather have my oil pressure and fuel pressure mounted outside.

In case of an equipment failure, whether it be the gauge itself or a blown line, I don't want 6 pounds of fuel pressure covering me with gas in the driver's seat,...or 60 pounds of oil pressure covering me with hot oil either.

Both of mine were outside too. Tach on the dash, small little ZGate shifter sitting on a 16/304 stainless steel box I made at work. Put the shifter high up, I do miss that car.
