where can I find an electric oil pressure guage?
I can not find one of these everyone in town has the damn mechanical ones and I really don't feel like having hot oil in my car. Does anyone know where I can get this and an electric oil temp guage for a good price? Thanks.
Ps. I've looked on ebay but half say they are mechanical and the other half don't say anything about what it is? Thanks again.

They sell autometer and vdo and maybe a few other brands. I have a vdo electric oil pressure gauge, works great. 0-150pis range.

My buddy dumped 4 qts of hot oil into his pass seat compartment because i stretched a bit too far and popped the oil line off the back of the gauge. He only made it half way home before noticing (gauge didn't have a light). He said he ould hear a bubbling and didn't know what it was.
Whenever I ride with him he gives me **** about it, that and your shoes still come out oily. Thats was over a year ago.

The mystery of the prize.
I'm not sure I'd say HKS / Greddy imply accurate as far as gauges go, last I checked the gauges you get from them are not certified for any level of accuracy for industrial use, though they certainly are priced insanely high.
You can pick up certified hydraulic gauges from northerntool.com for very cheap that will have great precision and accuracy. I would use one of these gauges under the hood for checking whenever you have a questionable situation reflected by any old effective electronic gauge inside the car. The stock FC gauge is not effective, the sender design is a direct result of 70's drug use, take one apart and you'll know what I'm talking about. The cheap gauge+sender combos you'll get from summit will be fine, just use a good certified hydraulic gauge for sanity checks when you're noticing weird things going on with the gauge in the car, or when you initially setup your electronic gauge so you can compare it's performance to the certified gauge.

Yeah thats what I thought I mean I know hks and all the other expensive brands are probably good, thats how they got their name, but common if everyone said the same thing about the athlon processor everyone would still be buying overpriced processors. Just my 2 cents.

You could get what was effectively the same performance for much less, if you were willing to sacrifice the Intel name.
I think he's saying that more mone may just get you a name, and not a better product.

Ill agree that some of the autometers are good. Some of their more expensive pieces are decent, but I (no longer) trust their <$75 gauges.
