Hey guys,

Does anyone knows what kind of red lamps were used on the empi-gauge panel to check the oil pressure?  I want to install one between my period VDO gauges

First picture is an Empi gauge set up which is in my friend Kurt's 1967 Ruby Red Ragtop

Second picture is where I want to put it (I think above the gas gauge...)

If you have such a redlamp for sale, please let my know...

Hey thanks speedwell, I didn't know it was a handbrake warninglight (very trendy item for the days back then), but I would use it as a oilpressure warning light.

Thanks for the info and pictures...

Yes indeed, my friends, a little shiftlight would be very cool, but as my RPM tacho is  50 years old, I think, I can't put a shiftlight to that...  If anyone has a sollution for this, that would be fine.

One of these would work well  http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=ATM%2D5330&N=700+4294925228+4294922411+4294859118+400442+4294786786+115&autoview=sku

but you would have to get these items also

I use one of these in my oval and it works just fine with the Mallory HyFire VI box.

Just realized that my first two links were exactly the same. I have made the necessary corrections, lowlight. Smiley
