    Yea, speedo would be a spinning steel wire in a sheath, everything else possibly be electric (tach, oil pressure/sensor, if it even had that).

      Oil pressure was actually an air tube, and coolant temp was a copper pipe. You had to be careful not to kink them or your gauges wouldn’t work.

      Though the 70s was the transition away from that late 60s tech.
