Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / May 2005what gauges...?
It's about that time that I ought to start thinking about moving some of the "goodies" from my '62 Lark to my '55 coupe... I just realized that I have a 3 gauge panel in the Lark with a voltmeter, vacuum gauge (from a 56J) and an oil pressure gauge. Now the '55 already has an oil pressure gauge in the stock gauge cluster so what do I put in the extra hole...? Can't think of any other useful gauges LOL (already have an old Sun tach that's being moved over as well.) I suppose I could buy a 2 gauge panel but those are almost as expensive as the gauges themselves! nate  Signaturereplace "fly" with "com" to reply. http://home.comcast.net/~njnagel I'd go for fuel pump pressure or transmission temperature. But that's just me. Tim K. > It's about that time that I ought to start thinking about moving some of > the "goodies" from my '62 Lark to my '55 coupe...

If so, maybe a gas guage since the stock unit is 6 volt.
