Flight_951,

How do you like that autometer A/F gauge? Have you used it to do any rough tuning? If so, how useful was it?

Thx

<a href="http://gadgetseller.com/gauges/index.htm" target="_blank">Modified "full throttle" Autometer gauges web site</a>

If I were doing it over, I'd go with the full throttle modified gauges. I don't need to adjust anything on my car since it's only lightly modified but the dithering LEDs are tiresome after awhile. I think the standard gauge is about $50 and the modified one is about $90.

<a href="http://www.9xauto.com" target="_blank">www.9xauto.com</a> I've dealt with them, they're ok. If you find them else where, I suggest you do so. I've heard some not so kind things of them. I got my stuff ok though.

The panel costs $23 to $43 depending on the number of holes.

Does anyone else's Autometer boost gauge not return to zero when you shut the engine off? Mine reads -2 in. hg. when the engine is not running. Is there a calibration screw inside???

Thanks

Is the A/F gauge difficult to install for someone that doesn't know what their doing?
