AUTO METER 2397 Autogage Black Console Oil/Volt/Water Gauge,2.3125 in., Black dial/Black bezel

Very happy with Autometer, these are more entry level in their lineup but great for a mechanical setup.

Big clear markings, BEST SWEEP- NEEDLE SWINGS GREATER DISTANCE PER PSI,DEGREE F. OR VOLT- the big easily visible needle swings greater distance than my old Suntune gauge set --you could barely see the needle move for 25 oil psi at idle due to closely spaced numerals and not much sweep. TEMP is responsive accurate and easier to read than old set- Starts at 100 deg F. and you can really see the temp differences clearly!(again needle sweep angle much greater--old set started at 160 so needle hardly budged once it got to 180 or 190) THESE 2 INCH DIAMETER GAUGES ARE EASY TO READ, FIT WELL IN LIMITED DASH SPACE AND YOU CAN SEE THEM AT A QUICK GLANCE. P.S. The nylon oil hose works great, last hose lasted 20 years just take your time route it logically- I like to cover with plastic wire loom cover & with a piece of fuel line hose or grommet around it at firewall, heat sources etc. Keep in mind; copper line work hardens with flexing or vibration. Good gauges, good price, Why spend your valuable time putting in crappy gauges???

I normally run digital-analog gauges but was told mechanical are more accurate. I've put enough of those gauges in a bunch of my cars, so doing these were a breeze. The only thing I'm going to ding these on, in stars, is the difference between what the temp gauge tells me, and what the display for my EFI is telling me. I'm not sure which one is the accurate one, but I'm going to lean towards what the EFI controller is telling me is correct. They're about 7 degrees apart (the gauge being the higher one). Not a big deal, since I'm only concerned with the needle in the gauge going to the H peg. Easier to keep an eye on the gauge over pulling the EFI controllerout of the glove box and sifting through the data list. I also went with the copper tube (Auto Meter # 3224) for the oil pressure gauge. Works great, and am happy with it!

Great for my truck

Replaced my old gauge set with these and they work great in my 1965 Chevy C-10. I did check the accuracy of all 3 gauge’s and they are right on. The install was easy took me around 30 minutes but I did have wiring from old gauges already in place.
