That link goes to a kit-box.Look at the gauges individually. You'll find a 5" in-dash speedo there.

I just installed Auto Meter gauges in my '67 coupe, including 5" speedo & tach, so I know they have them.

I bought mine through www.egauges.com. It was the cheapest site I found.

Here's how mine turned out:




i have an extra gauage display and ive been looking to find the gaugues taht will fit. thanks^^^^^^^^

but i have a question. my 67 didnt come with a tach, instead the battery and oil guage in in teh large right pod and the middle small pod is empty. did you completly remove one of your guages?

nassaubayman - That's what I'm talking about. I think I'd go with the black gauges just by seeing yours. I could not remember the name of the website I came across months ago but it's that egauges.com.

Thanks very much for posting pics and the link.

My '67 Coupe had the same setup as yours -nothing in the center, and the right large hole contained oil pressure and voltage.

I originally bought a mini-tach (from Mustangs Unlimited)that fit into the center spot. Doing so meant I had to run a wire to the coil, so that part of this project was already completed.

Here's a shot of the entire dash

Looks like you have two options for gauge supports. Either way you go, the support will be very helpful.

If you plan on doing it yourself, here's a couple uh-oh's I came across when I did mine.

The bezels have to be cut off the gauges in order to sitbehind the Mustang bezel properly. Easily done with aDremel and cut-off wheel,just a little scary when doing the first one.

The '67 has a steel gauge support that I didn't use (I bought a gauge support to hold my new gauges). All the lights grounded to that support, so I had to figure out how to ground the turn signals and high beam indicator.

Correct. Speedo & Tach were the only 5" gauges offered from Autometer, so they went into the two large holes. I chose fuel level, oil pressure, and water temp for my other three. If Autometer built a 2-in-1 gauge that was 2-5/8", I may have considered putting it in one of the small holes.
