SW fuel pressure gauges
 
Which Stewart Warner 2⅝" fuel pressure gauge, 10psi or 15psi, is period correct for a CSX2xxx Cobra/replica?
I thought the correct gauge was the 10psi gauge, but I've seen CSX2xxx cars fitted with 15psi SW gauges, so I'm confused.
The 15psi gauges are currently available new, and the 10psi gauges are becoming harder to find.
Cheers,
Glen

Any opinions of what is/might be correct?

They did not have the 15lbs. gauge back then... the correct version is the 367-B in 2-5/8" size.

SW 0-10psi 2⅝" fuel pressure gauges
 
When did the 0-10psi gauge go out of production?

The original 2000 series Cobras did not have fuel pressure gauges. They had water temp, oil temp, fuel level, oil pressure, ammeter and a clock.

I'm assuming he's asking about FIA cars, not standard street car.

Yes, I know which cars had them. Some were FIA bodied cars or Comp 289 cars, with 'street' dashboards and the clock was replaced with an SW fuel pressure gauge. These are the configs I'm interested in, but of course the FIA/USRRC dashes had the same SW fuel pressure gauge. Some 'restored' cars have the 15psi gauge fitted, and I wondered when it was that Stewart Warner superseded the 10psi gauge with the 15psi gauge in their ATS list. Anybody know?

Cheers,

Ah. Sorry. I didn't understand he was asking about FIA. I don't know if you can tell which gauge is in CSX **** in these photos I took in 1987:
1964 FIA, the proven winner.
I'll dig out the originals and see if I can get any better resolution.
