There are some differences in the heads and one of them is the temp sender on a 29 is up front and on the 30 it is in the rear of the head. The temp gauge on the 29 is electric and the 30 is a capillarity tube. The temp gauge on my 29 did not work the sender is good. Question? Will the temp gauge for the 30 that the Filling Station sells fit the 29 dash? Thanks for the help Craig Not till I have done and seen it all will I go peacefully.

Not sure about your statement. The 1929 gauge is electric. The Filling Station sells new electric sending units for the 1929 gauge. The Mangy Old Mutt "If It's Not Junk.....It's Not Treasure!"

I will leave that NOS for those that need/want them.
