That is for a dual port T-3. T-3 never used 26mm ventura's. Not in the USA anyway. 26mm I think is for 1700 bus engines.

replacing dash
Published (2009-11-26 18:48:00)
The gauges are all 1 piece with the plastic rim. You can unplug the big black plastic wire terminal from the back of the left gauge. You also need the 2 chrome strips and about 6 clips to install them on the lower edge of the dash pad!
