I agree with Esteban, it works and doesn't change the classic dash.
Food for file. I've driven all my Patrols dawn to dusk at 5-15 MPH and never used more than 10 gallons. I have one fuel gauge that works. It is on my white 63, RiverPatrol sold me her last OEM temperature sending unit.
Now, please apply your expertise to find a motor temperature sending unit replacement. That is an important gauge and I've bought every "alternative" our board digs up but I haven't been able to make any of them work. The alternate/modern sending units are shorter (25% -+ shorter) in length than the OEM sending units, though they fit the thread pattern and screw in properly.
But then again as River Patrol told me, "if the OEM brass radiator is rebuilt and working properly it is almost impossible to overhead the motor". That has also been my case as crawling all day while hunting from the Patrols is considered sever duty.
