hey man i love the gauges. what are the part numbers for the gauges in the dash? how big are they? i really like the way they fit and look. id appreciate any info thanks. steven

[rickjbell]

The gauges are made by "Equus." They can be found at big parts stores like O'Reilly's. The Tach is found under, "8068: 3-3/8" Tachometer." The speedo is found under, "8076: 3-3/8" Speedometer-White with Silver Bezel." The 3 small gauges in the center are found under, "8100: 1-1/2" Triple Gauge Kit."

hey, have the same 69 firebird and was wondering how you did the set-up with the gas gauge in the air vent on the left side of the dash, thanks.

[rickjbell]

I took a piece of 1/4 inch board and cut out hole so that the gauge fit in a little loose. I covered the piece with black leather and cut/folded the center of leather into hole. The gauge fits pretty snug after that. The gauge also come with screw on backing to secure in a hole. I changed my dash wiring around to accommodate my new center gauges and moving the gas gauge to left vent hole. It is easy to see and lets me see the gauges that are most important, RPM and speedo.

[jorgeboardman]

Those RPM and spedo gauges are Stewar Warner ? I am looking for something like that for my 69 bird, can you tell me the size / model? Thanks.

[shize9ine]

I got a 350 69 firebird. I bought new seats from summit and the brackets do not fit. What seats / bracket set up do you have?

[rickjbell]

I purchased those carbon fiber seats off eBay and they came with the sliders. I think I had to punch a few holes in some old brackets to mount on the seat sliders.

[dairieman36]

hey i was looking at geting some of those gauges are they any good?

[sk8boarderdude]

Hey, i have the same tach and mine moves slow in almost small ticking steps. I have it hooked up to a spark plug wire. Hows yours hooked up?
