My 1974 Formula 400 has aftermarket oil pressure gauge and tempature gauge and want to get original ones of a junked car. Witch years use the same gauges and where the gauges the same used on Firebird and Trans Am? Whould be great if anyone hade som picture of them so I can get the right ones.

Thanks again.

I took a picture of the gauges today. These can't be the original ones.

But does anyone owning a 1974 Formula whit automatic transmission have any picture whit stock gauges?


Will be grateful for any help!

My 74 Firebird Formula 400 with th-400 auto, has a fuel and volts gage located where your Formula has the temp & pressure gage. My temp & pressure gage is located between the speedometer & tachometer in a single round pod with the oil pressure gage on top & the water temp gage on the bottom. Also my F-B is equipted with the optional rally gage package that was standard on the Trans-Am.

You do not have the rally gage package. If you did, you would have a dash that looks like the pictures I sent you. Easy to change if you want. Just look on Ebay.

My car is NOT equipped whit a tachometer but a clock with three warning lights for oil, water (temp) and amps sits in its place as you can se in the picture. In betwin speedodomder sits the fuelgage. Is this correct?

Thats correct for a car not equipped with auxiliary gauges. Someone added the temp and oil press gauges to your car. Originally there was not even a hole there.

In order to add factory style oil press/water temp, Amp, and fuel gauges like in the auxiliary gauge package you'll need to replace the entire dash and engine harness and engine sensors. Its not a simple task.
