Default what are you guys using for gauges out there?

I have been reading alot and getting ready to do an update on my blazer(ac pw cc all the new stuff), I already have sport comp gauges in it, and I know I will probably have to get an electic speedo, but I was just wondering what you guys are doing for gauges.

BTW when my project gets underway I shoot you guys some pics (my project money is in the mail )

I ran all stock gauges kinda. Everything but the speedo is 100% stock, I had to put the guts from an autometer speedometer behind my stock face.

VDO Cockpit Royale w/ electronic Speedo here.

Had to go with the old vintage look for the Austin Healey replica I'm working on.

Now if I can just get that pesky LS1 started...

Autometer Phantoms... 3 in the pillar, 5" speedo and tach, 2-1/6" aux. gauges. What vehicle is this we are talking about? The jimmy?? If so, does that year have that wrap around dash sort of, with the tach and speedo in the center, and the 4 aux gauges off to the side ?? That would be perfect for a nice custom gauge panel.

If you want to see some installed Autometer Phantom pics let me know. I would have posted, but they are in an 87 Trans AM...so will look different in what you will be building...

Nice...thats what I was thinking it would look like. So are you just wanting to switch to an elec. speedo? Looks like you have Pro-Comp Ultralites in there now. Just get a programmable Ultralite to replace your mechanical. Unless you were looking to re-vamp your gauges...

Autometer 4489
