I'm thinking about this Auto-Gage 2302. Anybody ever owned one of these, and how bright is the light? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Auto-gage-Tachom...3c7&vxp=mtrAlso, give me your do's & dont's, likes & dislikes with tachometers. Thanks-

We have an Auto-Gage tach in my dads car and that thing is a pile. Needle sweep is not smooth and shift light settings dont always take. Also, be weary of purchasing parts like this from Ebay, lots of chinese knock offs out there that work even more poorly than the originals. I agree, spend the extra bucks and get a quality piece. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/atm-3690/overview/

IMO buy the best tach you can afford. Leave the AutoGage stuff to the kids so they can look cool.

Lotsa votes for the expensive stuff..... I guess I should have known what to expect from this crowd. Good advice though. I don't want a 5" monster tach, want something that looks a little more "period streed hot rod". I do like the AutoMeter that Dustin posted. Was hoping to not spend over 2-bills though. If anyone else has ideas on a good 3-3/4" with a light, Thats what I'm interested in. Thanks for the reply's  $$
