1928isgreat Registered: 04/21/10 Posts: 934 Loc: Melbourne, Victoria, Australia	Hi Giys, I am chasing a GM (Chev) Mechanical Temperature Gauge. Not sure exactly what year chev it was used on but was also used on a 38 LaSalle Details are Manufactured by : AC Spark Plug (Flint Michigan) Number on bottom of face : 1510548 Number printed on rear : 1510654 Believing that GM used a chev gauge, I am assuming it would be around 37 - 38 Any tips most welcome. Regards Ray _________________________ Some say "Street is neat". I prefer "1928 is great" I have documented my 38 years with a 1928 Chev Tourer, from 1973 to 2012.

They appear on eBay now and then. I bought a NOS gauge recently and it came in the original AC box with the part number shown above. Here's a photo of a couple of them. Is this what you're looking for? _________________________ 1936 Low Cab Pickup

I am thinking that like Chev and Buick and Pontiac in the 20's, similar gauge bodies were used with different faces. If possible would you be able to send me a photo of the same gauges you sent earlier, only from the rear. Thanks for your assistance so far.
