.....autometer guages.....

[rob h]

Im looking into autometer guages in my dash, id like to do 5inch tach and speedo, 2 5/8 oil, fuel, volts, water....My question is what did everyone use for the speedo. I need a new speedo cable anyway so what works best, elec guage or mechanical and how does it connect, i need some help with that and any tips for the rest of the job. I thought of just cutting the bezel and mounting em thru the front so they are right in front of me. but i could also uses 3 3/8 speedo, tach then 2 1/16 for the other 4 to save the money. not sure...i know a few of you did it b4.....

well i have used and worked with a few electric speedo auto meter units. all i can say is wow well worth the money for setup speed and easy of calibration in the end. and if you ever change gears or tires its a simple setup to recalibrate.

no custom made or funky setup spedo cables. less problems in the end if you ask me.

Im running the phantoms in mine, I have the mechanical speedo in mine, couldnt afford the extra for the electronic and then for the sender. Got the cable off ebay for ~40 bucks as I recall, since you cant reuse the stocker with the autometer gauges. I was originally wanting to mount mine behind the factory bezel, but I got a junkyard bezel and cut and fitted and cut and fitted and then attempted to mount them, and it was a huge hassle, so I cut my good bezel and mounted em to the front.
