I'm posting this in as many places as I can. I need information from as many people or just one knowledgeable one.
Looking for any and all information on this Vacuum gauge. I took it out of this truck F10JR446633
The truck had a 292 or 312 in it possibly from a car. The vacuum gauge was mounted in the cab. Anybody can help I'd appreciate it.

On a normally asperated motor vacuum is a good sign of how much fuel, and how well your motor is running.

All the company did for you is color code the guage for you so you can easily see how well your driving. It just allows you to see if your vacuum is high enough for good MPGs.

 

I think the OP is referring to the origins of the gauge itself.

 

Thank you.

 

I know what a vacuum does and how it works. What I don't know is maker of this certain 1964 vacuum gauge and rareness of this one.

 

Sorry been drinking wood chuck. That stuff sneeks up on ya.

Theres tons of guages from back in the day from companys that went south.

I would try googling anything printed on that guage to see if its ever been listed.

 

i cant speak on rarity of that brand but a google search revealed lots of vac guages even some retro looking nos for under $20 so while it may be valuable to someone it dosent scream got to have it to me. that being said while i am reworking an instrument panel with new aftermarket guages i may install a vac guage for an instant feedback of my performance. so thanks for putting this question out here.

 

See gangstakr's like thread in the 1961/66 forum, for the origin of this vacuum gauge.
