I have VDO Gauges and like them. No trouble since I got the car in 1996. But the Autometer gauges are good too and I have some in my other car. I believe they make a more original looking gauge than VDO does. I like the electronic VDO speedometer because I can calibrate it for different tires, gears, etc just by driving the car for a measured mile. I checked it and the tach with the CHP radar once at 60,70,80, and 90 and they were both right on. This was not done on the highway either. The Autometer gauges are the standad drive type but I have had them even longer and no problems.
