Well, my A/F gauge died on me this morning coming into work. Pisses me off. Does anyone have one for sale or know where I can get one cheap? The one I have now is an Autometer. I paid $75 for it. evil.gif I saw on Ebay that there's some for like $35. What's the difference? Anyway, if anyone has a hook up let me know. Thanks. :x

Spike...here's an example:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...item=2429801295

That one is $35


http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...item=2430355692

Ones like that (which I have and broke) are between $65 and $90 on ebay. What's the difference besides the display? If they both work well, then I'll just get the $35 one. But I don't want junk and I don't want this to happen again. Any ideas or sugestions? :?

Well, the only gauges I've ever had were Autometer. This was a fluke thing where my A/F gauge died. But if there's one out for there 35 bux that works just as good as an Autometer, then I'm not gonna pay another $75 or so for a new Autometer that has a different display than the cheaper one. See what I'm saying? :?

Yup. I plugged in my friends gauge today and it worked fine. Plugged my old one back in, and it was still dead. :x :?

If I was getting some ricer guages, I'd get the Defi ones that David got. Those are the coolest things ever.

That is the one thing I wish VDO sold was a air/fuel gage.. it is a gaping hole in their lineup. Being a european car fan, I prefer VDOs... Veglia Bollini are nice too.. but unless you are working on an old italian car.. not worth the hassle.
