I'm curious to know if the 1973 gauge housing orifices for the Tachometer and Speedometer have different dimensions than the 71-72? My 73 housings are conically shaped with the base measurement being 4.5" making it tough to fit a 5" gauge, while pictures posted by others show that a 5" gauge fits nicely.
This picture is from BenD's post (his is a 72) :
If anyone can advise, I'd be grateful, as I don't want to hack to the gauge bracket to make this work.
If there is a difference- will a 72 fit in a 73?
Thanks in advance,
Butch
