Autometer Cluster Sizing

I know I remeber that this was covered before, but what sizes do I need to convert my cluster to Autometer guages. I would like it to look as clean as possible. I think I remember that there are two ways of doing it.

Thanks
Jeremy

Re: Autometer Cluster Sizing

You can also use 2 1/16" for the smaller holes.

Re: Autometer Cluster Sizing

I have been watching ebay for several months now for a 3 3/8 black faced guage and I have had no luck. The Mooneyes clock is about the only option I have found for something black in the middle hole.

Re: Autometer Cluster Sizing

Thanks for the replies. I need to use electrical guages since I am running a 5.3L. Which look better in the small hole, the 2 5/8 or the 2 1/16.

Thanks
Jeremy

Re: Autometer Cluster Sizing

I prefer the larger! Have you guys searched the web for the 3 3/8 gauges? I bought one not that long ago!

Re: Autometer Cluster Sizing

If you go on ebay and type in Autometer you will see just about every type, size and style.

Re: Autometer Cluster Sizing

Thanks Jim. I lucked out with that fuel gauge. I tried to order one about 2 weeks after I got that one and they didn't have anymore.

Re: Autometer Cluster Sizing

Here are mine....similar to Mudder, but mounted from behind....

Usually on E-bay, you can find the 5503 fuel pressure gauge and the 5510 Oil Temp. Usually the seller is DealMonger.

Re: Autometer Cluster Sizing

Hey there Putter,
What did you put in the far side (right) 2 lower holes?

Did you ever put up a parts list for what you did?

Re: Autometer Cluster Sizing

Rumor has it that Autometer discontinued the 3-3/8" size gauges.

Volts & Oil Pressure are on the other side of the cluster.
