Y'all ever noticed that the gauges are never installed straight up in these cars? They're always tilted one way or the other.... Look at that ammeter in CW's picture compared to the other gauges...
I remember reading in one of my books that the guages were installed on angles so that whatever position was supposed to be normal operating position was straight up. That way if pressure failed or something was off, the needle would point anyway but up and at an instant glance you knew there was a problem. This as opposed to trying to read the numbers on a guage at 140 mph on a long sweeper in traffic.
