Thread: Gauges?

Tweet

I'm eventually going to put Dakota Digital gauges in my car but right now I'm want to replace the other gauges I have in my car. I found a set of TPI gauges for about $165. Anyone ever used them, do they work for what they are intended for?

Never used them yet, ive only used the discount auto, and dolphin

Discount auto? Who has them?

Advanced auto has gauges that are good especialy if your going to replace them. Most NAPA stores carry gauge sets with brackets to mount them.

You may not like those Dakota Digital ga. Ask around to the people that have had them. I had them in my 37 chevy--too busy-dont want them again!

I got Dakota Digital gauges in my 48 Ford (41 Dash) and think there are super.

i have just ordered the autometer old tyme setup .....cant wait for those to come

I have Dakota Digital gauges in my coupe,and I like them all except the tachometer. It is pretty worthless because it jumps around a lot, and if you are going to go WOT, determining the redline is almost impossible.

SUPPORT PERSON MUST BE IN INDIA ANSWERING QUESTIONS AS I CANNOT UNDERSTAND A WORD HE IS TRYING TO TELL ME.ANYONE OUT THERE THAT HAS CALIBRATED THE TPI SPEEDOMETER,I WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO.THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE VERY VAGUE IN MY OPINION. I BOUGHT THE TAN FACE W/SS BEZEL.NICE GAUGES.
