Both my 67s have speedo left, fuel guage right. My 68 was the same. I don't have the optional console guages but I have three aftermarket ones in the same position: oil press, water temp, volts. The location of these guages has/have never been an issue. (Nor should they be.) Under normal driving conditions, the primary guages you need are speedometer and tachometer. (BTW, I also mounted a tach on the steering column between the speedo and fuel guages.)

P.S. Yes the std speedo was 120mph max.

 

Camaro White Book: All Production Models 1967-2002 (Paperback)
by Mike Antonick You can get it on Amazon for like $10 plus shipping or Borders sells it around here. Im sure there are other books but this is one of the ones I have and like.

Im starting to like the 68 and 67 more but 69 steals the show in my book.

Ive never had the console gauges but I really like the look of the 68-69 console gauges. I dont think the concept had the same look with it being a orange background and with a needle from the side. I like that they put them in there though. What 67's do you have?
