Did GM install factory gauges in the consoles of 67 Chevelles. There are no gauges in the dash they are in the console. Thanks for the help. Steve

The only gauge that Chevy installed in the console on a '66/'67 Chevelle was a timepiece. They usually worked for about 6 months before they packed it in for good. If you ordered full instrumentation from the factory without a console then, Chevy put a freestanding clock on the hump all by itself. Don't feel bad; Oldsmobile felt that a tachometer belonged there! Definitely the opposite of a Heads Up Display like on the current Pontiacs.

I have the full complement of factory guages and, if you don't, don;t sweat it. They're not that good. There are no actual measurements, and the blinker tack is a true PITA to see. I run a vaccum guage in the console clock hole.
