I know alot of guys already use Autometer gauges. I have been putting together my cluster and needed the black plastic "bracket" for a 3 3/8 inch gauge. It is no where on their website for sale, just for 2 1/16 and 2 5/8. I emailed them and the guy I dealt with just asked for my address and sent me one on them.

It's not a huge free part or anything, but customer service like that means alot these days. Figured I'd share...

good to know. I'll have to give them special consideration when I reach that point in my build.

1.) Cool. K/N was kind enough to send me a part that I was missing from an ebay purchase once. I offered to pay for it but they insisted they would send it free of charge.

2.) Wheel replicas has stepped up and is sending me a replacement FR500 wheel since mustangjno found the vertical runout in it when mounting them up. I provided the guys runout numbers and they are shipping one tomorrow with a return shipper for the old one. Great guys to deal with.

That seems to be the case even as far back as 1994. We installed a full set of gauges in a 66 Ford F100 with Custom gauge panel (all steel). Had the same problem with that fuel gauge. Others gauges were just fine.

I haven't gotten a fuel pressure gauge yet. Are you guys saying autometers isn't good?

The exact one I'm wanting is the 0-15 with the isolator for in car install.

Their fuel pressure gauges are okay. Its their fuel level gauges that are kinda flakey. Although when they are on the E line they mean EMPTY. lol I learned that the hard way with my 91. Being used to factory gauges giving you a little wiggle room screwed me. haha

Ah OK, thanks Chris I totally read it wrong. I have the fuel gauge just for show. Whenever I get my fuel cell I'll have to figure out a working sender and gauge combo.

Dont get it wrong they work you just have to have the car sitting perfectly still for a couple minutes to get a good reading. lol
