Does anyone know of a source for the original style Rochester (Scott made by Rochester?) oil pressure gauge for a 1955 B-model. Mine is putting an oil sheen on the panel below the gauge, yet the fitting is perfectly dry, so I’m suspecting the bourdon tube is failing.

Re: Oil Pressure Gauge
(I know this isn’t what you’re asking….)
I once replaced such a gauge…and to keep the original look…. used a knife-blade to peel up the rim, slip the glass aside…. swapped out the face behind the needle… reassembled.
