old gauges

Post by K4282 »

Looking for a fuel gauge for lower helm, 1974 F32, faria gauge, someone changed one of mine and it looks stupid next to all the originals, I have a questionable tach too if theirs and parts lying around, thanks

I didn't think original gauges were Faria... On my '79 they were DetMar.

I think most of our boats came with Delco Gauges, not available today but there are vintage gauge copies on the internet.

Looks like I can read AC Spark Plug which I believe are Delco on some of them.

Agree re the AC Spark Plug labeling. Looks like the tachs were swapped out for Faria at some point. These are definitely different than what I had in my '79.
