1970-1974 E Body Standard Dash Temperature Gauge 

Reproduction temperature gauge for 1970-74 Plymouth E-body Cuda and Barracuda models and 1971-74 Challenger models. Replace your defective or inoperative factory gauge with this quality reproduction.

In the 1970-1974 E Body vehicles, such as the Dodge Challenger and Plymouth Barracuda, the standard dash temperature gauge was a part of the instrument cluster. Here are some general features and information about the standard dash temperature gauge during that period:

1. Analog Display: Similar to the fuel gauge, the temperature gauge was an analog instrument. It typically featured a needle that moved across a marked scale to indicate the engine's operating temperature.

2. Dash Location: The temperature gauge was integrated into the instrument cluster on the dashboard, alongside other gauges and indicators. The exact placement and design could vary depending on the specific model and trim level.

3. Temperature Range: The gauge had a marked scale indicating a range of temperatures, often starting from "C" (cold) and reaching to a normal operating temperature point. Some gauges might have additional markings for hot or overheating conditions.

4. Operation: The temperature gauge operated based on signals from a temperature sending unit installed in the engine. This sending unit measured the coolant temperature, and the gauge displayed the corresponding reading on the dashboard.

5. Warning Indicators: In some models, there might have been additional warning lights or indicators associated with the temperature gauge to alert the driver of overheating conditions.

6. Accuracy: While analog temperature gauges provided a good indication of the engine temperature, they weren't always extremely precise. They offered a general overview of whether the engine was operating within the normal temperature range.

Note: Not for use on 1970 Challenger models.
