For the guys who run multiple temp gauges, it'd almost be worth to contact Autometer. Isspro, or whoever to see if they could custom make a 270 degree sweep electronic gauge that's just labeled "TEMP" that reads from like 50 degrees Fahrenheit to 250.

I know that Autometers electrical temp gauges, it's a 1 wire sender; so you can just go any store that sells multiple position toggle switches and just connect each sender to whichever switch position you want. The downside is you'll need to be able to get more than 1 sender for how many temps you plan on monitoring.

Just an idea..

Can you change the color of the night glow? Seems that most I've seen are either blue or green glow, I was wanting to get a red tint to mine. Any ideas?

You can add RED LED's to the gauges... I have never done red, but I have green and blue. I think there is also orange... Wife wanted Pink gauge lighting at one point for her X.

Can't decide between Stewart Warner Mximum Performance 3 guage with pillar ($230 RPM OUTLET) or Glow Shift Reversed White 7 color with pillar ($224 at GLOW SHIFT.COM)

Buddy has SW gauges and they are JUNK!

Glow Shift is jap junk too, I have been down at Isspro when they gutted a set... Funny to say the least, also last I looked they didnt offer a boost gauge, just a boost/vac gauge...

Go to DieselManor - Taking the Mystery out of Diesel Performance™ He has several kits from Isspro, Autometer, and diprocol starting at about 280-300 with EVERYTHING needed for install, when I say EVERYTHING I mean every connector, wire, bolt, everything but a drill and bits and tap...

Someone on here said he had a set of Glow Shifts and he said he had trouble with the boost lines and fittings popping off I cant remember who it was though maybe they will be along!!

Where's a good place to get paint for the gauges? I thought about going to a local shop to see if they could match it.

You mean to paint the pod? Just about any auto store has rattle can interior paint that'll match up pretty close, or you can go to Ford.
