Thanks in advance.

I’ve seen that Hemmings article too. The owner removed the upper part of the center console to install the aftermarket A/C. Since the original location of the vacuum gauge on the console was removed, the owner mounted it on the dash. All automatic GPs in ‘63 and ‘64 had the vacuum gauge mounted on the console and not the dash. The tach was optional on the dash. Someone else can reply regarding manual transmission cars, as those may have had the tach on the console. I don’t believe the vacuum gauge was ever installed on the dash as is seen on the car in the magazine.
