It reads 30 amps either side of zero, marked AMP across the bottom, in a brass housing with a bright retaining bezel and a clear glass lens. Two mounting ears, roughly 3-1\/4 inches across and 2 inches tall, sized for the common 2-1\/16 inch dash opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt came out of a fully restored car in working order, which is a different proposition from a swap-meet gauge of unknown history. The glass is clear with no fogging, chips or cracks. The face is clean, the printing is sharp, and the needle sits where it should. That's the combination that's hard to find — most of what turns up has a hazed lens, a water-stained face, or a needle someone has bent back to center.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔧 \u003cstrong\u003eFeatures and Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e⚡ \u003cstrong\u003eAmmeter reading 30-0-30 amps\u003c\/strong\u003e, marked AMP — 6-volt era instrument\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🔍 \u003cstrong\u003eGlass is clear\u003c\/strong\u003e — no fogging, no chips, no cracks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e📋 Face clean and sharp, printing fully legible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🔨 Brass housing, two mounting ears, bright retaining bezel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e📏 Approximately 3-1\/4 in. wide × 2 in. tall; suits the common 2-1\/16 in. round dash opening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🚙 \u003cstrong\u003eRemoved in working order from a fully restored car\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🔎 No part number is visible anywhere on the gauge — see the note below, and judge it from the photos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🚗 \u003cstrong\u003eKnown Fitment and Applications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1936 Ford\u003c\/strong\u003e — confirmed.

So rather than attach a number I can't stand behind, here's what I can tell you: the scale, the markings, the dimensions and the construction are all photographed in detail. \u003cstrong\u003eCompare it against the gauge in your dash or your parts book before you buy.\u003c\/strong\u003e If you know exactly what this is, you're ahead of me, and I'd genuinely like to hear it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditional applications beyond those listed may exist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e✅ \u003cstrong\u003eCondition Summary\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery good used original. The glass is clear and undamaged, the face is clean with sharp printing, and the gauge was functioning when it came out of a restored car. The light-diffusing cellophane behind the face has come loose at one end but is present and intact, and the brass housing shows the expected age patina on the back where it doesn't show once installed. Sold as-is — it has not been re-tested on a bench since removal. Please see all photos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e📋 \u003cstrong\u003eBuyer Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis came out of a garage lot purchased from a retired Southern California restorer who's stepping away from the hobby. Look through the photos before buying — the glass, the face, the bezel and the back are all shown, and they're part of the description. Because this gauge carries no legible part number, \u003cstrong\u003econfirming it's the right instrument for your car is the buyer's responsibility\u003c\/strong\u003e — compare it to what's in your dash rather than assuming, and other applications may exist beyond those listed. Sold as-is. Questions are welcome before you buy, and if you can positively identify it I'd like to know. If you're building an Early Ford, the rest of the store is worth a look.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ford","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45835663212597,"sku":"FORD3536AMMETER","price":56.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2350\/7867\/files\/20260727_160957.jpg?v=1785372366","url":"https:\/\/flatbrokespeed.com\/products\/1936-1935-ford-ammeter-amp-gauge-30-0-30-original-dash-instrument-early-ford-v8","provider":"Flat Broke Speed","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
