And if you're going to go with cheap stuff, get electrical. The last thing you want is the innards of a gauge coming apart and spraying you with hot oil, fuel, coolant, etc.
Anyone have any recommendations for inexpensive gauges? Are mechanical or electrical preferred? Will be going into a 1G RX-7. Looking for a Tach, Oil Pressure, Oil Temp, and Coolant Temp at a minimum. Plan to include dual EGT as well. Thanks.
Where are you located? I'm about to replace an Autometer Monster Tach w/shift light as well as a three gauge panel with Autometer Ultra light coolant temp, oil pressure, and oil temp mechanical gauges with a Dash 2 on my car. The parts are all in NC, but should be really easy to ship.
Interested?
I'm in Dallas, TX. Shipping shouldn't be a problem if you're willing. PM me a price as I'm interested.
Hmm...I just bought a SunPro mechanical gauge cluster, was this not a good idea?

You'll have to turn on your PMs. This site defaults them turned off.

I actually have a used set of oil pressure, oil temp and coolant temp autometer 2 1/16" gauges that worked great, we simply upgraded to a DASH2. They are yours for a very good price if you want them.

Consider a voltmeter gauge and fuel pressure gauge, I have found both these to be beneficial to identify or exclude problems.
I plan to have a fuel pressure gauge but was going to put it under the hood as the car is carbed. Hadn't thought about a volt meter.
