What do you guys think about these gauges?

[dlouie87]

I was going to go with autometers but i need to save my money for other things.

what else would I need to make these work on a ls1 67 camaro? a different sending unit?

would these fit on a covan dash?

or maybe go with dakota digital?

Glad you like the gauges
They will fit standard size holes like in a Covan dash-3-3/8 and 2-1/16
The 2020s have a clean look, we have a couple of other styles that have different, period looks too. I am a bit partial to the 69 and redline series.
Let me know if you have any questions

I've been bouncing between those and the 69 gauges for my build. I think the 2020's are growing on me.

Mark, you wouldn't happen to offer the tach and speedo in a larger version would you?

very very nice! do they come in 4 inch for the 67 stock cluster?

Can you get them with blue ilumination>:thumbsup:

Guys,
I would say over half of our business is custom, so we can build pretty much any look you want. We also have larger cans that we can use. The custom work isn't cheap but its available. Probably less than you think, most custom sets run in the $800-$975 range, still less than some of the competitions regular prices
How do we do it? Cheap rent in a small shop and few employees.

I looked at the vids on the site and read all the info. Im impressed!! They look like some very nice gauges.

Id like to see a tach sweep. Not that it matters much, Im sure its accurate. But the smooth sweep might be something to get used to. Where most tachs have a pretty quick jumping needle for rise and fall. The stepper motor needle movement will be smoother looking. Prolly just as accurate if its fast enough. Just a smoother rise and fall of the needle. And again, not that it matters much, its just a tach, just might need to get used to the sweep of the needle. More of an electronic gauge then a mechanical one.

I really like ALL the options re: lighting and limit sets and alarms.

Sounds like a good modern setup. JR

Most of the competition uses air-core movements, which are actually slower to move than a stepper motor, which is why we use them, fast and accurate.
The other advantage of a stepper motor is it gives feedback to the microprocessor ad to the pointer position, which is a double check for accuracy

Impressed, shame I got Autometer gauges already.

I'm waiting for the 67-68 3-in-1 gauges to come out this summer for my project....:thumbsup:

I bought some Glowshift gauges for my 442. 10 color LED lit, and they can daisy chain power.

These can beep and flash when you go past your high and low warnings you program.
I already had Autometer Cobalts for my Z28.
