I've had a hard time getting accurate readings with mechanical autometer gauges. But Greddy on the other hand has served me well. As has Defi. Both are a little pricey though and typically not found in domestic cars. But you get what you pay for.

I highly suggest them if you like the digital thing. They are very product supportive. I ended up with a funky PSI reading on the fuel and they walked me thru the whole troubleshooting process to eliminate any of their products before I started ripping parts out. Great bunch of guys.
I am actually getting rid of the pillar, so if anyone wants my three gauge pillar, name the price.

I paid for the install too, so besides the fact that autometers are fairly expensive, I also paid for install and the profit margin for the shop. That's why I usually do my own work, just didn't feel like it that time and apparently paid the price.
