1966 427/390 Temp. Guage

[Jay Bunt]

Does anyone have knowledge of any 1966 temperature guages having the warning areas (Yellow/Orange range)? From what I've read, the 1966 guage should not have the warning area which was put into use in 67. Any help/reference would be appreciated.

Thanks Wayne. However, I'm still a bit confused. In the 63-67 Fact Book M.F. Dobbins, Page 178, they show a guage cluster where there is in fact the yellow/orange zones with 210 midpoint just as you've stated. But the caption reads 1965-66 water temp. guage did not have yellow and orange warning zones as did the 1967 guages. This is for the 1966 390 h.p. 427. Then on page 214, there is a 1966 instrument cluster with a midpoint of 180 and no warning zones. My guage does have the zones. I can always try to contact the previous owner. Let me know if you have any more thoughts on this. It is appreciated.

Wayne is right and the Dobbins book is wrong.There are many mistakes in the Dobbins books.

Thank you gentlemen. Looks like I'll have to acquire Noland Adams. Much appreciated!
