The rest knobs for the clock and trip odometer are in different spots:
In the later gauges (72+) the reset for the trip/clock go through the face of the gauge itself.


In the earlier gauges(70-71),   the reset goes through a different part of the dash:

the original design was just used in 70 & early 71 , all others used the later design , same with the 8 K tach mid 71 went to the 7k tach for the rest of production

I would not put 72-74 rally gauges in a 71.They are not correct.Yes they will fit but it just does not look right.

I had a set of 72-74 gauges in my car for a few years just because they all worked. In the end though, I ended up sending out my 70 gauges to be rebuilt. I just had guilt pangs I guess.    :grinyes:

I actually like the later style, looks cleaner IMO.

...Plus, the clock reset cable doesn't give you grief on the later gauges either.

The easiest way I found to tell the harnesses apart is to look at the bulb sockets. If there's a light socket with both a dark blue and grey wire going to it then it's a standard harness. That's the lamp for the oil pressure idiot light. When I swapped mine over I just cut the grey wire (G6-18GY) and crimped a connector on it for the oil pressure gauge.
