I had always understood that the "210" gauge was 1970/1971... but unclear on when the exact change over was.

After seeing those two "220" gauges posted, I figured I'd wait to see what was said - and I wasn't disappointed.

Now, I could be wrong, but I thought the '73 that my brother has (it was mine for a time) came with the "220" gauge - but there's no gaurauntee that it wasn't installed as a service replacement at some point.

I would wager that older MPC's would clearly show when the "220" gauge showed up, and became the replacement gauge;
I have two, IIRC one is dated august 1974 (1975 catalog), and the other is a December 1976...

I know many here have older MPC's than my two...
