I notice right away after getting behind the wheel that the lens had been changed at sometime to center clock lens, but the fuel gauge face is original. Not sure why the lens was changed.

[/ QUOTE ] My Dad had a very original (or at least it was when we found it) 69 Z/28 with the center mount fuel gauge and it too had a clock stem hole in the lens. I'm still not sure this isn't correct, as I assume the first center fuel gauge cars could have easily utilized the same lens as line workers had been installing over the optional clock for some time. What tipped me off as to questioning the authenticity of your center fuel gauge is the actual "FUEL" font on the face. It's awfully "square" as in to say each letter is nearly as wide as it is high. The first repos of these gauges featured such text, unlike the talller, thinner letters of an original. It's very difficult to tell in pics, and I've been wrong before, just thought it warranted a closer look. Any thoughts? Good luck with the car.
