New Gauge style for Ford F1 truck....Brand preference
I routinely browse all the F1 catalogs I can find and search ebay for certain things I still need. I definately will need to replace my old gauge cluster but have been face with few choices for Dash inserts, and gauge layouts. I like the old stock gauges but they all are broken, 6 volt and not what I ultimately want for my truck.
Dolphin continues to entice me with new inserts and has come out with a new three gauge insert with 3 3/8" speedo(elec), a smaller 2 and something " tach and and 3 3/8 cluster quad gauge that does temp, volts, gas and oil.
The cool thing with this setup is that it allows for a full size speedo(not the combo tach speedo) and still has room for a tach in the middle.
So my question is do any of you use Dolphin gauges and what do you think of their quality? I can also get insert and put similar setups with auto meter and classic instruments, it's just dolphin is sooo much less expensive!
I also want to know about mechanical vs. electronic? How hard are either speedos to set up and get the approx. right speed reading(mine is going to be for a 460 engine, c6 trans. and 9" rear with 3.0:1 ratio)
Here are the different inserts including the three gauge set up.
