Well, not realy a conspiracy but. . .
This is probably old news, but I was kinda excited to discover this (not in need of a paper towel excited, just entertained).
Have a look at the Autometer Phantom series gauge in comparison to the Ford Racing gauge.
Same fonts, ranges, needle shapes. . .
And if you look hard at the fine print that is at the top of the gauge, on both of them the letters match up pretty well to read.
