1974 rally gauge

I believe this to be a 1974 rally gauge and I may have the fuel gauge?
$50 plus shipping.
Feel free to correct me

Those should be good to fit through 77.

I do not think that is correct for 74. Maybe 76/77.

This gauge cluster is correct for 1975-1977. It has the gas gauge in it already (top dial), the matching piece to this would be the spedo. The other gas gauge you have is correct for a 1973 Cutlass only.

I had that gauge set in my 75 S with a 260.

The rally gauge cluster is for 1975-1977 Cutlass. Unleaded gasoline became a requirement with catalytic converters in 1975.

The other gas gauge is correct for 1973 and 1974 Cutlass (obviously in cars without the rally gauges).

I'll say it again...I had that style gauges in the 1975 Cutlass S that was my first car in 1987.
They used both style of gauges in 1975.

It looks very similar but instead of FUEL the 75 gas gauge and warning lights cluster says UNLEADED FUEL ONLY. It was a requirement so owners know not to put leaded gas in the 75 and later vehicles. The lead would plug up and overheat the catalytic converters.

The gas gauge with warning lights the seller has is a 73-74 gas gauge.

The rally pac gauges are absolutely correct for 75-77.

You can see in the pic the gas gauge and warning lights cluster says UNLEADED FUEL ONLY.

So are the 73/74 rallye guages the same? I guess we need to start a thread on the 73 - 77 guage differences.

No. Rallye gauges for 73 are one year only. Rallye gauges for 74 are one year only. Rallye gauges for 75-77 interchange.

The design of the 73 rallye gauges is similar to to the 70-72 with the FUEL, OIL and TEMP gauges spread out on the outer portion of the circle on the rallye gauge face.

The 74 and later gauges are positioned in a triangular layout.
