Sorry folks - have to disagree here. I have had various electrical and
mechanical oil pressure guages on several cars over the years, and I have
to say the best one I ever had was a VDO electrical oil pressure guage. It
was rack solid accurate and it indicated instant fluctuations in oil pressure.
As for certain gauges being only 90 sweep vs. 270 degree sweep. I have had
gauges from all over the place, VDO, SW and others that come in either
style. You just have to shop around.
By way of example - I see in the Summit catalogue several examples of what
I'm talking about... and in 2 in, 2.125 in and so forth.
You just have to shop around.
