What Gauges To Install?

  • Sponsors (?)


Aem, Autometer, Innovate, all reputable brands and make a multitude of gauges, I'm sure you'll find one type you prefer
Again brilliant@!!!! I don't like wasting my money of eBay Chinese garbage.. so that's why I asked for the reputable companies.. I dont know my !@s from a hole in the ground.. So I do take into consideration you all's perspective.. A picture of a product can be made to like D##n good..
 
I run an innovate wide band in my car. MTX-L is the model. I also run autometer boost gauge , i have a oil pressure and water temp waiting to go in. I prefer mechanical when it comes to those. The autometers i have are ford motorsport they are older then me i found NOS on ebay. I love the period correct stuff. Its in my thread if you want to take a peek
 
I prefer to not clutter up my car with gauges. Only one I added was the PLX multi gauge with wideband afr and boost solenoids. Works for me

@madspeed That PLX unit is very nice, but I started pricing it out. $100 for the gauge but $175 for each sending unit- oil pressure, water temp, a/f ratio, etc.. By the time I'm done it's almost the same price as getting a Florida 5.0 dash set.
 
@madspeed I think I will be getting a PLX, that thing is saweeeet! Do you have any pics on how you have it mounted and where?


Sure do...

Thats a better option if you were planning on replacing all of your factory gauges. I for one, wanted to keep mine stock and add only those that I needed, which can all be used on one multigauge
 
I like that plx and if I was datalogging it would have been a no contest. I went with autometer units in the center dash vents. Kind of wish at this point I had flipped the stereo location and put the gauges down there.
 
Aftermarket gauges? I only have the one, and I hardly ever pay it much attention.

Just not a huge fan of cluttering up my interior with a bunch of gauges.
 
Autometer has always been my go to. They have yet to disappoint with the quality or longevity in anything that I have owned. The PLX sure is sharp and for a sleek look would really get the job done!
