Interesting Steve, my 65 has a multifunction gauge: fuel, oil pres, and
ammeter, on the
Right side of the steering col. Then the speed-o on the left and the tach.
Centered above
The steering col. My water temp gauge is off to the left some.

Joe and John:
Scarlet (67 Series V Competition) is equipped, to my understanding,
as she
came from the works.
She has the mulifuntion, tach, speedometer, water temp and oil temp
instruments. The water temp is to the right of the steering wheel
(right
hand steering), the tach is centered over the steering wheel and the
oil is
on the extreme left side of the dash (passanger side) above the
heater
control knob. The only labeled items on the dash are the "L" on the
headlight knob, the "C" on the choke knob and the arrows on the
heater knob
indicating more or less fan noise. The switch layout John has below
is the
same as on Scarlet.

Joe,
My understanding is that the only the "competition 4/4s" came
with the
tach. My 65 4/4
Didn't have one. But I don't like driving a manual xmission with
out one,
so I put in one
As thought it were a 4/4 Series V competition.
One other item, from what I've been able to ascertain, the 4/4s
didn't come
with a temp gauge.
However, I would think that many owners had the dealer install a
temp gauge
and or a tach.
I don't know what the "P" switch is for. On my car I have the
following
switches:
|--------------------------------------------|
| wiper dash driving |
| switch lights light |
| on ft. |
| badge bar |
| |
| |
| Turn sig |
| switch |
| |
| |
| |
| Choke ign Headlight |
| knob switch knob |
|--------------------------------------------|

Subject: Spitz-Morgan
Hi folks,
I am providing the usual tips and consolation to a new
Morgan owner named Mark. He has acquired a '58 4/4 which
was fitted with a 1300cc Triumph Spitfire motor.
Setting aside the cleverness (or horror) of grafting a Spit
motor in a Morgan, he had a couple of basic questions I
couldn't answer:
1. "There is a knob on the dashboard on the right hand side
above the choke labeled with a 'P'. What is it for?" (It
does
not seem to do anything that he can detect. Also)
2. "Is it unusual that my car (1958 4/4) does not have a
tach?".
I don't have a knob with a 'P' and my so-called competition
model came with a tach, but I never noticed what the
majority
of Mogs have in the way of rev-counters.
Thanks in advance for the help.
