Love it when you guys continue to try and bash American made Autometer gauges.
...and then it turns out to be another ISSPRO issue.

When you've had as many problems with Autometer as I have, you may change your tune.

Similar OT? I have a Autometer Phantom EGT gauge I bought used. Its unplugged and the needle is stuck at 6.
Any ideas what to do with it?
I just barely got the rest of my gauges and pillar, so I haven't had time to install them.

Have you paid attention to how many Autometer pyro problems have been asked about on the forums over the years?

I'm not saying that the other companies out there are perfect. Anything can and will fail. However, when it gets to the point that I have to buy two Autometer pyrometers initially and take back the one that doesn't work (or MAYBE I get lucky and the first one does), that cuts into my time.
I have to drive 120 miles round trip to get these things (if people want Autometer), so if I only buy one gauge and it happens to not work (more often than not, I get a dead one or one that bottoms out), then I get to drive all the way to town and back to get another. Kinda cuts into the money I make installing them......
Until I start having repeat problems with the EV2 gauges, I will continue to recommend them. My only issue with the EV2 gauges is the stupid connections on the back of the gauge. They prove to be pretty problematic if not perfect, and that's usually where the problems lie with them. Knock on wood, I haven't had any problems, but some folks can't win for losing when connecting them. Frickin' scotch-lock style connections.

Me too. 
Here's a way:
Those connectors are absolutely a piece of Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo India November Golf space Sierra Hotel India Tango.
"Foxtrotting Sierra" can be used as the contraction.
