    What are the correct type of gauges for the console on a 69/70 GT500?
    Mine currently has a S-W ammeter and mech oil pressure gauge. I have read these had Faria(sp?) gauges. Also, what is the correct sender for the OP gauge?
    Does anyone have any good pics?

    The gauges are very hard to find . They were somewhat fragile and the oil pressure gauge not very accurate. Probably the reason why yours were replaced. Repros have been unavalible for a number of years . The correct sender is a Ford sender unlike the SW gauges that require their own sender to be accurate(68 shelby). The assemblyline sender is the bell shape with the FOMOCO in block letters instead of the oval and script it has a threaded top for the push on elbow shaped terminal. There are alternate replacements available from your larger parts vendors that will work and look close. I hope this helps. Bob
