Gauge Questions - Experienced Help Needed
Just purchased my Auto Meter dual pod A-pillar overlay...now I have a few questions:
1) Other than my AEM UEGO WBO2, what other gauge should I place in the 2nd pod? (let's assume I don't plan on getting N2O or forced induction)
2) To best match my AEM WBO2 with black face and black bezel, what gauge brand/style would be the best match? I'd like something with black face, black bezel and white backlit text/numbers. (please don't recommend the autometer cobalts...FAR too blue) Here is a shot of the AEM UEGO display:
3) For those of you with gauges, have you managed to get them to dim with the dash lights? If so, how did you do it?
TIA

Brody,
I have Autometer CF guages in mine. They don't dim and infact they only light up when the fog lights are on. so I'm not much help.
You could get a fuel pressure guage, or just put a compass in there
J/K.
Hope all is well.
Take care,
J

I hooked my light power to the light power at the AC control head and they dim, if I remember correctly it was a yellow wire.
That gauge looks great where did you get it?

I was leaning toward fuel pressure as well, or a clock.
I believe All Cammed Up put a shift light in there somehow.

What gauges are you using, runamuk? Any recommenfdations on a fuel press gauge that would match the AEM WBO2?

After reading these, I want to emphasize that I DO NOT recommend this wideband AF meter.
