Which Autometer gauges to get?

I am getting ready to purchase the Autometer Dual A-Pillar Gauge Pod for my 92

Summit - ATM-10190 $27.95
Jegs - 105-10190 $27.99

and am going to get a couple of gauges as well. I know these need to be the 2 1/16" gauges but am uncertain which ones to get as they have a slew of styles.

I am looking to get Oil Pressure as it is tough to look down at the existing anolog gauge, and was thinking of Oil Temp as well, although I do have the digital readout currently.

So, I'm basically looking to know what style to get, as I do not need anything fancy. White face with black numbers would probably be easier to read during the day. What are you guys using and why? Part numbers?

Also, how important is air/fuel or fuel pressure when you are road-racing, compared to oil pressure and oil temp?

Thanks in advance,
Mike

Was considering the ATM-4327 Oil Pressure gauge ($53.95), but really like the the ATM-4353 as it is a full sweep gauge ($199.95).

Can't really justify the difference in cost, tho. Was also looking at the ATM-4348 for Oil Temp ($48.95).

As far as which line I would get either Phantom or Ultra Lite..

If you can swing for he full sweep gauge I would go that route..

Just don't buy the Auto Gage line, those are the cheap ones..

Also Check eBay for gauges as well

Thanks, Jeff! After spending some time yesterday looking at them I am leaning towards the Ultra Lites. And I am in agreement with the full sweeps. For Oil Pressure, the 40 - 60 range is right in the middle on the full sweep, and that makes it so much easier to read. I think I'll save up and go that route.

I have the full series Ultra-Lites and really like them!

5" tach mounted on dash, water temp and oil temp in the pillar pod, and oil pressure, volts and air fuel where the radio was

I think I went with Summit because they a few dollars less when it came to shipping, but listen to Jeff on the Ebay thing!

I found my tach new, in a box, for $95!
