Michael,
The result of your inquiry was interesting. I believe we've come full cirle. If you remember, the inquiry started initially with a discussion regarding the broadcast code sticker found on the back of the instrument cluster. This led to a discussion re: the 80lb ga. which led to a discussion re: the Judges Guide. In re: to the code, several members were kind enough to share information on this topic. In a nutshell, these codes are significant because they may very well shed light, assuming the cluster or individual gauges were not incorrectly replaced, on the car's original equipment. [See December 28, 2004 discussion Re: C2.] In addition I have called several individuals, including cluster rebuilders with the hope that they might have conversion tables that would decipher these codes. To date I have been unable to find these conversion tables. However, with the information that you have obtained from 1966 427/390 owners, it would be interesting, to compare their broadcast codes with each other. In other words, based upon what I have learned about the codes, you should expect to find the same code information on all 427/390s. It would be interesting to compare the codes of a 60lb ga. car with those of an 80 lb. ga. car. I suspect you will start to see a pattern and we may have a better idea regarding the ga. issue.
Having said this, I am requesting input from owners of original 66 427/390 HP cars re: their broadcast codes found on the back of their instrument clusters. You may be able to get this information without having to pull the clusters out with the use of a mirror. For those of you with back problems, proceed with caution! Take a look at John Hinkley's post "Re: C2" wherein he attaches a photo of the back of the instrument cluster. You can see the code in photo. It is the sticker with the letter "LA". If your able to get to the sticker, please post all info contained on the sticker.
