I have an Autometer, and it works fine, but I know of lots of folks who have bought Autometers and had them read incorrectly...

I would personally recommend a VDO product...they are rather nice quality and not crazy money

And check this site out: http://www.egauges.com/


They have a VDO that reads from 30 in.hg to 25 psi for like $28

I have used VDO, Autometer and Omori.

The Omori is Very nice and worth the money.

But in between Autometer and VDO, I would go with the VDO becuase its cheaper, but still reasonable quality.

Although it was not 100% accurate.

I have an Autometer cobalt mechanical and is right on par with what my Zeitronix setup says. I don't use it to tune or anything like that.
