What gauges are you using?
Okay I know there have been posts in the past but since there are many of us who have moved along in their projects, it would be great to see who is using what.
I am shopping for gauges now and looking for suggestions. Please post a pic of what you are using and or recommend.

Re: What gauges are you using?
Dakota Digital. I like Digital gauges because they are easy to read and are more accurate. Mine have the blue numbers and have an aluminum casing.

Re: What gauges are you using?
I really like the looks of the stock gauges.
That said, I'm putting a modern power-plant and transmission in, and want to stick with electronic gauges vs mechanical. (Speedo particularly.) So, I either spend a mint getting stock gauges retrofitted with modern movements and some hidden indicators, spend $500 on an adapter/converter for the speedo and adapt the other gauges or just buy modern gauges. I've still not decided. That said, I like the Dakota Digital VHX line. http://www.dakotadigital.com/index.c...rod/prd723.htm  New Vintage's (http://www.newvintageusa.com/) Woodward line is also pretty good looking.

Re: What gauges are you using?
Whats wrong with original?
I needed a new temp because the probe broke and I wend with a repro oil pressure because its a SBC engine now. The batt and fuel got new overlays. The cases were blasted and painted. I wouldnt mind having an RPM gauge though

Re: What gauges are you using?
Little bit harder to find or you can I guess use the refacing kits, but I like the look of the GMC gauges:

Re: What gauges are you using?
I like the look of the stock speedometer, so I made a matching tachometer.
