i was going to get a water temp meter by Autometer, to which one i should get, cuz they have differences in temperature such as 140-280 Degrees, 100-250 Degrees, also whats better? electrical...or mechanical?

Thanx

i have the autometer carbon fiber water temp gauge. it reads from 100-250f. the back lighting matches the orange dash lighting, but the mechanicle hand reads a little off. like 5 degree's cooler. im happy with mine.

 

Thanx

Anyone elses input?

 

I personally think you should go with the Defi D series temp gauge. I got mine and its exact as far as I can tell, and it matches almost exact to the stock lighting. I'll hook u up with some pics if u want

i have a 2 5/8 ultra lite serie if you want to buy it, brand new.

 

Here's a noob question on the gauges, how do u know what color they will light up? Is that determined by the face of the gauge? is there some kind of color match chart I haven't seen or.....

Hehe thanks ahead of time

 

i got lucky

 

Most gauges have removable bulbs. These bulbs can be covered with little elastic colored covers. They are usually included with the gauges.

 

Good deal I emailed AutoMeter and have got no response.

 

yeah, this is how autometer gauges work but it is different for other brand.

you don't have the choice of the color.
autometer gives you both a orange or green cover

 

Steve can you post those pix. and puma, i might wnana buy it but im not sure if it will fit my dual auto meter gauge pod, would it?im not sure i ordered the dual gauge pod but i dont know hwo big it is

 

i have put autometer gauges on both my FDs. BOTH boost gauges started sticking, and water temp gauge would jump from time to time( I had 150-280) If you have more money to spend, I suggest greddy, or defi.

 

it won't fit an autometer gauge pod
