If you’re restoring a 1968-1969 Chevrolet Camaro or a 1968-1974 Chevrolet Nova, you know how important the factory console gauges are to the finished look of your interior. While the original ammeter served its purpose decades ago, many enthusiasts today prefer the reliability and functionality of a volt gauge—especially on modified vehicles and LS engine conversions.
That’s why we’re excited to introduce our new factory-style console volt gauges, available as Part #413-003 and Part #X413-003.
Designed to Look Original
Unlike generic aftermarket gauges that stand out like an afterthought, these new volt gauges are engineered to match the original GM console gauge appearance. They feature:
- Correct silver or black gauge face
- Authentic light green lettering and indicator markings
- Factory-style appearance that blends seamlessly with your original console gauges
- Direct mounting in the factory console gauge assembly
The result is a clean, stock-looking installation that complements both original restorations and high-end restomods.
Why Upgrade to a Volt Gauge?
Many classic GM muscle cars originally used an ammeter to monitor the charging system. While period-correct, a volt gauge provides a more practical way to monitor your vehicle’s electrical system.
A voltmeter allows you to quickly determine:
- Battery condition
- Charging system performance
- Alternator output
- Electrical system health before problems leave you stranded
For owners who have upgraded to modern charging systems or LS engines, a volt gauge is often the preferred solution.
Perfect for LS Swaps
One of the biggest advantages of these new gauges is compatibility with many LS conversion wiring harnesses.
Many aftermarket LS swap harnesses are designed to work with a voltmeter instead of the original ammeter. These gauges provide the factory appearance enthusiasts want while delivering the electrical monitoring modern drivetrains expect.
If you’re building an LS-powered Camaro or Nova but don’t want to sacrifice the stock interior appearance, these gauges are an excellent solution.
Easy Installation
The new volt gauges are designed to mount using your original console electrical hardware and are compatible with reproduction wiring connector kits.
Installation requires drilling two small holes in the console gauge mounting plate, and a drilling template is included to simplify the process.
Vehicle Applications
These new volt gauges fit:
- 1968 Camaro
- 1969 Camaro
- 1968 Nova
- 1969 Nova
- 1970 Nova
- 1971 Nova
- 1972 Nova
- 1973 Nova
- 1974 Nova
Whether you’re completing a concours-quality restoration or building a modern street machine with vintage styling, these gauges provide the perfect balance of originality and functionality.

If you’ve been searching for a 1968 Camaro volt gauge, 1969 Camaro console volt gauge, 1968-74 Nova console volt gauge, or an LS swap console gauge solution, Parts 413-003 and X413-003 deliver the factory appearance you expect with the performance today’s enthusiasts demand.
