Im just going to say I bought Glowshift gauges and wish I would have gotten Autometer


As for the original question.. Go to summit racing and see what you want.

Ultra-lite
Phantom
Z-series
Sport-comp

Just to name a few. My personal favorite is phantom 2s

I got an auto meter oil pressure mechanical gauge for $40. The shop I was at had to order an electronic gauge if I wanted it and that costed about 80-100 bucks. Just get the mechanical, cheaper. I got mine at Lee Auto Parts (also known as Auto Parts 2020).

SWs' are good. VDOs' too. Autometer just makes a bigger selection of styles. I like mine just fine.

I'm not a fan of electronic gauges. I don't trust them near as much as I do mechanical gauges. Electronic gauges are interpretations of electrical signals...a mechanical one will have an actual oil line running from the engine that reads actual pressure.

Click on my links to see mine, the pics are too big.

I had to move the A/C compressor and power steering pump to get to the location of the sending unit. I pulled the sender and put the pipe adapters supplied(of course pipe dope the threads) and screw em in.

Just be careful, even if your a/c lines are cracked, there is still pressure built up. Ask me how I know.
