Default Autometer fuel/temp gauges...which size?

Quick question for those of you using autometer gauges...which size gauge fits into the stock center bezel ?? I see a 2-1/16" or a 2-5/8"??

those look ohhhhhhhh soooooo sweet! I think that might be one of my winter projects! I am pretty sure they are 2 1/16" but you should get a definitely answer before ordering!
Smoked, where did you put the A/F ratio senser in your side pipe set-up??

2 1/16" seems to be what I recall, but I'd need to check my receipts to be sure.


74Vette, my O2 sensor is in the collector where it comes out of the side of the car, it's the only place where you can get a reading of all cylinders otherwise it'd have to be in an individual tube. I know it's not ideal, but it's better than nothing when tuning

Just put a set in last month - black face, chrome bezels though- I'm kinda old-fashioned

Definitely 2 1/16

Those are the Ultra lites..the ones i want.

I have pretty much finished outside....so starting on the inside, custom gauges...billet e-brake...billet wheel.

By measuring your pic... they look a little bigger than actual size..and the measure 2-1/8.

2 1/16 for the center.. I used ultra lites.. 5" if you do the tach and speedo. Easiest for wiring os to make your own harness since you will n ot be able to use the plastic circuit board.








Good Luck on the project!

timbo, I like your gauge cluster - where did you get the carbon fiber surround?
