Default Inexpensive Gauges

I thought I saw a set of gauges on here speedo, tach, water temp, oil pres, and voltmeter all for around $300. They were electrical full sweep stepper type gauges. I have been searching trying to find the thread again, but can not find it. Who knows, maybe I just dreamed about them??help.

I just recieved a PM with TPI-Tech gauges. They are priced good, but the ones I remember had full sweep to them. I think they also offered a fuel pressure gauge, not sure though.

I'm in for this info too....electric gauges for around $300? Assuming they look "cool". Those TPI gauges are a little too antique looking for my tastes.

Anyway, that would be awesome. I priced out some Autometers (electric, not mechanical) and it was going to cost me $600++

I bought prosport gauges for my swap.

Probably not as cheap as you are hoping for, but they are nice quality and fairly inexpensive for what they offer.

Full sweep, plenty of color choices, tinted face, ect.

Prosports look nice. And aren't very expensive either but they don't seem to make a speedometer...or am I just missing it somewhere?

I finally found the original thread here post #16 is what I remember. Same as RPD_Vette84 posted. Looks like the price has gone up a little since then. I am getting the silver ones. So has anyone else used these Marshall Gauges?

I am using Dolphin gauges like the ones listed here and have found them to be good quality. They are very popular with the Street Rod crowd, never hear anyone complain. Customer service is also good.
