Autometer Gauges...
I am looking to get some Autometer Ultra lite gauges.
I guess If I am going to do them I would get liquid filled. What would I get? Electrical or mechanical? I know I want to do a 5" speedo to 160 MPH and a 5" Tach What small gauges? Electrical or mechanical? Fuel gauge Water temp Tranny Temp oil pressure Voltage part numbers if anyone knows which way I would be wise to go www.autometer.com |

Autometer gauges are great! I prefer mechanical for the simple reason that I hate the short sweep that electric gauges have. Just my opinion.

Re: Autometer Gauges...
I wouldn't worry about the liquid filled ones, not really needed for a street vehicle.
I like the electrical ones, you can make a harness to easily disconnect them. For the speedo, I'd get a mechanical speedo if your tranny is mechanical out. For my 68, I'm using all electrical since doesn't have a mechanical output. |

Re: Autometer Gauges...
well the original speedo is mechanical, so pretty much a TH 350 and TH400 are mechanical. I know the 700R4 that I had in my 72 was also mechanical, but I think that changed at some point.
If you don't need an electric speedo, I wouldn't get one....they're more expensive. I think our sending unit is 0-90 ohm, but I'd double check. Yeah, the tach hooks up to the distributor.

Re: Autometer Gauges...
0-90 Ohm on the fuel gage .... here is a dash I put together with all electric AutoMeter UltraLite II's ... I've never seen the need for fluid filled or full sweeps in a street vehicle either.

Re: Autometer Gauges...
THanks for all the pics guys, love it.
SHane-I too have a No Limit polished cluster. Anyone know off hand where to find polished knobs or billet knobs for the lights and whatever the other hole is for? |

Re: Autometer Gauges...
I went full sweep electrical & electric speedo. I love the fact that you can calibrate it with the button on the back & a short drive. Also that you only need to unplug the connector to get the dash out.

Re: Autometer Gauges...
I bought billet switches from yogi's street rods. If I had it to do over I wouldn't use these particular switches because they require additional machine work on the back of the billet dash panel in order to fit.

Re: Autometer Gauges...
Passthebuck, second the question on filling the center hole, especially the raised circular bezel part. And what lights did you use for the signal indicators?
