Dear mid-60s Buick lovers, . . . .
There is a modest entry in the Hemmings blog about Thomas A. DeMauro's (https://www.hemmings.com/blog/author/tomd/) weekend work on his 1967 Buick Gran Sport:

As part of the weekend's repairs, Thomas decided to install a Stewart Warner green line Motor Minder vacuum gauge. He chose this model as listed Stewart Warner website:

Summit's listing has even a picture of the gauge that is oddly missing from the manufacturer's website:

The blog article is mostly about the author's satisfaction of getting some much needed maintenance accomplished before the cold of Winter set it, but it is still a pleasant bit of reading for any car lover.
Cheers, Edouard :occasion14:
