i have some photos somewhere i can post up of my CF autometer gauges in the OEM configuration.
Its quite amazing how well they fit into the OEM gauge bezel!
With me having a Ls1 swap, i feel more confident running autometer gauges directly to the sourse rather than using conversion boxes and whatnot attempting to get the OEM FD gauges to give me accurate readings.
PS found a shitty pic on my hard drive...

I like the set-up but, why the 10k rpm gauge for a V8?

Here is the setup. I already have it hooked up 
. Will post pics soon.
Aquamist AI gauge.
Spa Design Dual EGT
AEM A/F ratio (I'm probably gonna put this somewhere else. It's too ugly).
Defi Tach (discontinued... good luck finding this one)
Speedhut Quad guage. Water temp, oil pressure, Voltage, and fuel Level.
I have a Blitz I-color boost guage that can read speed and boost at the same time. No need for a huge Speedometer. My goal was to not have a gauge outside of the cluster, but I might purchase the RE-Amemiya bezel just for the AEM AF gauge.

Jerome can you identify what ohms on the oil pressure fuel and temperature and how you hooked up your wiring?

i shift mine at 7200. We have these things called a cam, they make special ones that move the power band around pending on how you want your engine to perform.
plus they only make one carbon fiber 5" tach, there isnt any other option.

Aaaand ANOTHER resurrection!
Question regarding the Fuel gauge: Does it read, fine off of the stock sender?
Just got a 0-280Ω digital (Autometer 6310) and need to know if it'll read from the OEM sender or if a different one (sender) is needed.
Thanks!

The Autometer 6310 is programmable, so you need to set the empty and full points with a momentary switch (not included). The gauge can read off of the stock fuel level sender. The programming involves using the switch (or just touching the wires together) at empty, and then at full.

sort of close to the FORD style 10F 73E gauge I used.

Awesome to hear all the facts, guys.
I know what you guys mean about the 'bad rap' bit. There was this phase in the late 90s - mid-00s that if you had AutoMeter gauges, you were the poor kid on the block....
Of course, there're a couple of cars running the EXACT SAME AM gauges that I installed in them, some 10 years ago.
The drivers changed, but the gauges didn't. Not too sure of too many othe companies that can say that.
Ditto of the 'styling' comment.
