Hot Rods Ok boys and girls what do we have here

I know it's a Stewart Warner gauge panel, oil temp, oil pressure, water temp amp and tachometer. What does it fit, what year, etc.

 

Cluster from a 32 or 33 Henway

 

Surely you can’t be serious?

 

He isn't....and don't call him surely

 

is that tach cable drive?

 

With a tachometer that only reads to 2400 RPM, it probably came from a boat. Likely from one that was diesel powered with a closed cooling system.

 

I was going to say boat as well based on the tachometer. Dodge Brothers had boats.

 

Good call on the diesel.
What else would run such low RPMs?
There may get be something, but I can’t think of it.

Other interesting thing is water temp, max reading is fairly low. Is this a boat thing?

 

There was a SW thread on here somewhere. Has lots of good pictures. As clean a unit as it is did it come off a shelf in a forgotten corner?

 

That's really about it. Normal operating rpm on a Yanmar or Perkins is between 2300 - 2500. They are capable of 3000, but that RPM isn't necessarily going to help a boat's speed. It will just burn more fuel.

 

Looks like boat to me as well.

 

Is this it???

Looks like @Paul had one just like it. Check out post #78 in the linked thread. He might know what it is.

 

Yes

 

There’s one on just the gauges I found . Then another one that covers SW stuff other than gauges

 

sorry, can't help other than the seller said his father bought it new to put in a boat that never got finished

 

I think that does help. There is that word again............. boat.

 

@2deuces64 For a better response, picture something of scale.
Ruler,, Length,, Height?

 

The picture on post 78 looks to be the same panel. If I'm reading the part numbers correctly mine was manufactured in 1943.
There is one on Ebay right now that the seller states his was made in 1951. The gauges in his look to be newer design and the temp gauge doesn't have the red line

 

Length is 10" and height is 6"

 

That would make a really good gauge panel for a engine break-in stand!
