gauge advise
I need to replace my wtr temp gauge. I've gone through 2 in 1 1/2 yrs. I thought the mechanical type was the best, but they don't seem to hold up. I know that could have something to do with the cheap Sunpro brand.
I'm looking at the SW gauges. Would I be better off using the electrical type for the wtr temp?

that would be personal preference. the mechanical gauge is more accurate, but a pia sometimes to install. if the line gets kinked, or a hole wears in it it is useless. the modern gauge's have come along way, just like computer, TVs etc. the last street rod I built has Dakota's in it, and I think they are accurate. plus the fact they look good

The lopey idle of your mill might be destroying the bourbon tube, though, and I'm not aware of a gauge that will hold up long in vibration. Have you considered electrics? They're way better than years ago....
