Yeah, the dashs are different in 79-80, 81-83, and 84-85. The differences are more slight in 79-80 and 81-83 though.

Well, the numbers on the oil pressure gauge look kinda pinkish for some reason, but they are actually redish because of the red light gel that I put over the bulb. With it dark, the needles look the same color, and the red/orange color is close. Also, the ring of light that you see is only because I took the picture at an angle. I pivoted the gauge to angle towards me so I can read it easier driving, and I dont even see the ring. Anyway, like I said, my camera doesnt take good night pictures, but I tried. At least you get the idea .

Sure would



I wish I got one that had colors more close to the stock gauges though like Rotormotordrivers.

RMD - Maybe you could do a little research and find out who makes that gauge so the Series II guys can look into getting one.

Ok, I called the auto parts store (I threw away the package, and its not printed on the gauge) and found out the gauge is made by Chieftain. I dont think they make any other "performance gauges" like a boost gague or anything. I think they only make oil pressure, water temp, and crap like that. Theyre just a cheap brand like Sunpro or whatever. Anyway, hope that helps .
