ok, so i'm getting new Water temp and oil press gauges.. but i want to know why the ones i have just messed up? I have the liquid filled autometer gauges and both of them sprang leaks somehow and all the liquid came out! does anyone know why this happened?

No clue, but I'd send them things back to Autometer.

yea, but its kind of wierd that both of them messed up the same way.. 1st the water temp, now the oil press. and its leaking all over my dash![:@]

You had the mechanicals in teh car? First mistake. Not that you can't do it, but I strongly urge against it.

Yeah, autometer is pretty good about that. I bought a used electric f/p and boost gauge in a pillar mount froma friend for 45 bucks. There was no sending unit for the f/p gauge. I contacted A/M and gave them the p/n and they told me there was a recall on the gauge and to send it back for replacement. I got a brand new, complete gauge for free!! HELL YEAH. Retail 200 bucks.

Electric, only way to go

There not too bad. I run AM Phantom series 2 1/16" water temp and oil press. Seems like they were around ~$45 each. eBay.

really!?!? i didn't know autometer did that because i didn't buy these gauges from them either..i got them from a friend. And what info did they ask you for? I know that MSD is pretty good at exchanging stuff even if you didn't even buy it. I sent back an MSD 6AL box that a buddy of mine sold to me for 10 bucks because he said it didn't work. So i called MSD and they said that they would rebuild it for 14 dollars!! so, i paid a total of 24 bucks for a 6AL box with brand new wiring

I was having a problem with my tach and caled them up. They said "box it up and send it to us and we'll fix it up for ya". Ended up straightening it out myself though.
