I have  been having fun doing a lot of work on my Torovair.  I put in a new  
carpet and refinished the dashboard.  Most add a Corsa dash to a  Monza, 
mine is the other way (started life as a Corsa).  I think it  looks cool 
with the Sun tach, and stock 
gauges in a corsa dash would  not do much good with that engine.  So I 
added a 68-69 dash  panel.  It has the other aftermarket gauges below the 
radio for oil  pressure, oil temp, and water temp.





For future needs? There is a reproduction Cluster for a 1967  Firebird which 
I think would be a great conversion into the right hand side pod  on the 65-up 
Monza dash with a water cooled motor. It looks exactly like a stock  install 
and has a Oil Pressure gage, Fuel gage (matches the Vair sender), Temp  gage 
(for water cooled cars, natch) and a Amp gage. I saw them again at SEMA  last 
month. Most big auto swap meets have them on display as the restoration  
places. You also might find one still in a Firebird. - Seth  Emerson
