Re: gauges

[Toby Basiliko <toby@gonzo.wolfenet.com>]

Oooh, asbestos undies in place-
  I've used decent quality 'racer' manual (not electric) gauges (Auto
meter, but others make comparable units) and have found that they DO
offer advantages over the stock gauges.  They respond faster to engine
conditions, and aren't affected by electrical gremlins.  In a (non type-
3), my oil p. meter saved my newly rebuilt engine- I was losing pressure
under severe braking, and the stock (VDO) gauges weren't catching the
blips...
  But, they're usually pretty ugly as there's no really clean location
for mounting, and the stock gauges aren't bad, really...
