<x-charset iso-8859-1>I disagree with Berg (did I say THAT?) on his gauges sermon but I do understand why he feels that way... too many phone calls saying "My JC whitney gauge that is mounted in the wrong place on the wrong type of metal Tee is telling me..." If you get a decent quality gauge, CALIBRATE IT, learn to know what it says when the car is running properly,, you gain alot from it when your are driving the car hard or if something goes wrong. I wouldnt dare tow my boat in the summer heat without proper instrumentation, or hillclimb it, or many other things.. the tell me how far I can push without hurting things.
