Need a gauge

Guys,
I'm looking for a combination fuel flow / manifold pressure gauge. Anybody have one they might be willing to sell me?

Still looking for this gauge, working or not. I just sent my instruments out for refacing so I'm getting a bit desperate...

Before you get too desperate or run out of time, you can get just about any gauge or combination gauges made up at:

Look at Ebay item # 9501272219. This is the factory OEM gauge used in 1963-1964 B-2b's. It's actually ONLY a manifold pressure gauge, but the printed face has a second scale around the outer edge which is in fuel flow gallons per hour.
It just shows you what fuel flow to EXPECT at any INDICATED manifold pressure reading.
My experience flying over 300 hours in my ship with this type instrument is that it was very reliable for accurate fuel flow numbers.
By using this gauge alone, and later, in combination with my GEM 602 engine monitor, I could lean with confidence to 9 - 10 GPH flow in cruise.

Hi Bryan,
That's the same gauge I have. I was looking for the 2 in 1 to replace both the manifold pressure and fuel flow gauges in mine (it's a 1964.) I think I found one at Keystone Instruments in PA. It's out of a Piper but the range markings supposedly match. Just odered it today so I guess I'll know when it arrives.
Hey do you still have the pictures of your refurb? Any chance I could get a cd made?
Cheers
