Autometer

I'm not using them, but have a couple of friends who are. I've always liked Autometer, but I think that may be driven more by the fact that you never need a tach adapter if using an MSD box. Anyway, the feedback is that the 2 1/16" gauges are very small (may be an old eye issue), you have to buy the speedo cable reverser separately (A cable reverser is required for this speedometer, contact Speedometer Service Co. at (414) 463-6660), and the needle fell off of two gauges, but they were replaced free with no further problems. They do look really cool!

Thanks, I missed that. I should have known they would not have built a movement just for Cobra's! I think I will drop the extra $$ and get the new electric version. That will be the ticket if I ever upgrade to a newer transmission.

I had several issues with my AutoMeter Cobra gauges. The water and oil temp were 10-20 degrees C off, and the tach wouldn't work. They replaced the tach, once it came in from China (that's where they are made) but I was told the gauges are for "reference only" and don't necessarily read the exact temp.
