I like the Autometer 0-20psi boost (0-30 mmHg vacuum) gauge, because the range seems more useful for our cars. I wonder how some people are able to discern 10psi vs. 8 psi on some of these other gauges.

I agree that it is the perfect range for most FD's. We won't be needing one of these anytime soon.

I also switched from Autometer to Defi 'D' series, and the plastic tube was a PITA. Along with the yellow vacuum markings and dim and uneven backlight from the condom covered bulb. The only thing I regret is that it was a Pettit Racing -Autometer, so obviously the car was much faster with it. But still, I like the DEFI better. It's too bad that they discontinued at least some of the guages in that series. If I had to do it now, and on a budget, those VDO look decent, depending on how they look at night.
Anyway, if you found some left over stock, or used, here's what they look like.



At night, sorry about the bad focus.

When I bought them, I thought I was getting the old black/green ones. I was pleasantly suprised when I saw the boost gauge tho. The only problem was I had to wait 4 weeks for the temp gauge.(it was backordered)
Their website still shows the gauges as black/green, so its a little unclear exactly what gauges you can get in the new color combo.
