water/oilpress gauge 1

how is the light?

@038971 I take it you mean the backlighting at night? its alright, not great tho. they shine light around the gauge face with a single bulb..i think a #194. i have pretty good vision, and i still have to squint at these things at night. Theyre more expensive, but gauges with the "light thru" feature are much much better.

@poopstank88 oh thanks :) so you don't have the backlight. must be unbearable at night with light

hi i have a 91 fox body and my stock water tem gauge does not work i bough an autometer one 2 install i the a pillar but i was wondering if its a hard task to do? do i just direct the cables that went to the stock water tem cluster to the new gauge? thanks

[poopstank88]

they're Autometer Ultra-lites. nothing special. they have 1/4 sweeps for cheap and 1/2 sweeps for a little more...their illumination isnt great tho.

@poopstank88 Hi I have a 89 foxbody that I converted to Carb. I trying to get my oil gauge to work with my sending unit. The sender is stock and the gauges are stock. How would I get this to work?

[hotrodGuitarGuy21]

what gauges are those

[06pontiac]

do the stock gauges still work too?

[poopstank88]

no. i suppose you could splice the sender wires to both the autometer and stock gauges, but why bother. The stock water/oil gauges arent very accurate anyway.

does that have a turbo or super charger or anything im just wondering because i want to put a oil pressure gauge in my 08 caliber r/t 5 speed not sure if it will work or not . any thoughts

[poopstank88]

N/A. im sure a blower or turbine wont effect an electric oil pressure gauge. Id be more concerned about routeing the oil feed and return very carefully if turbocharged.
