Autometer gauge cluster

[Steve Curry]

Has anyone purchased, or seen the Autometer replacement gauge cluster for the Mustang? I saw it listed in the new Jegs catalog, and thought it was pretty neat; I've always liked the Autometer gauge styling.

I went to the Autometer web site, but didn't find any info on it.

I found it on the Auotmeter site: http://www.autometer.com/cat_gaugedetail.aspx?gid=3378

I purchased and installed the gauge cluster. I have been very pleased with it. I have had it for two years.

I am using the above mentioned gauge cluster aswell. It is the Lunar series cluster. The neat thing is that I can now match my boost & fuel pressure gauge to the cluster.

The installation was a breeze and the looks sure make it worth the heavy price tag that it came with.

I paid $300 for the cluster, $75 for the boost gauge and $130 for the fuel pressure gauge. So the complete setup was around $550 shipped and installed.

It is the same cluster as the Roush cluster and there is a cheaper version featuring a horse on it that looks like the Denver Broncos logo.

Was there anything tricky to the install? Was it just unplug the factory cluster, and plug in the Autometer cluster?

How easy is it to get the factory cluster out?

02mingreyconv, can you post a larger pic of your instrument cluster?

You may be able to find some around still but, Autometer had discontinued it.

They changed it so it is a pony logo like the one on the windshield.

www.mustangtuning.com has it for $250

Hmmm this is interesting. Unless there is something I am missing here the guage cluster from www.mustangtuning.com is made by Simco, not Autometer.

They do look similar though. Here is info on Autometer's guage cluster. I was told in an email from Autometer that it had been discontinued so not sure why they still have it on their website.

plug and play, easy to install. I have had mine for 2yrs now and the only thing I have notice lately is that the rpm needle is choppy when you rev it up.

Actually now that I think about it, I took a pic of the autometer lunar cluster in a mustang at a car show today..heres the pic.

I would like it better if it had a true blue led glow.

OH MAN! That Autometer setup is NICE!!!

Summit says they have them in stock for delivery (at least that what the web site says). Time to break out the credit card so I can get one before they're gone,...

 

[Steve Curry]

Autometer cluster coming! They're pricey at $471, but in my opinion it is the best looking. And if am going to be looking at it everytime I'm in the car, it's worth the extra cost over the Simco unit (to me).

Oh, got me a K&N FIPK coming too,...

Let's see, what's left to get,..
Diablo Predator
FRPP 5300 B/C or F springs
Chrome 2000 Corbra R 17x9 wheels
Undecided brand cat-back system
'03-'04 Mach1 front spoiler

here is mine with boost and fuel pressure in dash pod, it is a very easy install.

Thanks 03redfire, your setup looks great! I really like the look of the Autometer instrument cluster.

 

[02mingreyconv]

plug and play, easy to install. I have had mine for 2yrs now and the only thing I have notice lately is that the rpm needle is choppy when you rev it up.

The install was easy. A couple of torx screws to remove, swap the electronics to the new cluster and put the cover back on. It took me probably less than an hour. All the instructions are (should be) included.

Just as an FYI, the Autometer gauge cluster is made by Simco just rebadged and a slight change in light color.

I installed my Autometer instrument cluster last night. No problems, took about 45 minutes.

Looks great with my dark grey interior!! I'm real happy with it.
