I too have had good luck with Sunpro gauges...I installed a set
in an 86 mustang that held up for approx 15yrs...what did them
in (at least on the electrical gauge) was the sun, the heat bent
the needles into the face of the gauge, then they would stick. I
also like the VDO gauge line...But I prefer mechanical type gauges
over electrical....and here is why: Say your gauge starts to show
low oil pressure, then you start to wonder if the gauge is bad,
the sending unit is bad, or even worse, are you actually losing oil
pressure and still have to hook up a mechanical gauge anyway.
Electrical type gauges are the easiest to hook up, but once done,
mechanical (oil press / water temp) a bit more faith can be had
with them. I too agree, a volt meter is a better choice than an
amp meter...esp with todays hi-output, hi amperage alternators
can really over do an amp meter, a short circuit in this size wire
would be dangerous. This is just my 2cents worth.
