I prefer the analog gauges myself. More of a classic look and easier to read at a glance or with peripheral vision.

I would assume it works good and acurate. However it looks like you can only read one perameter at a time if I am looking at the right item. I perfer the analog guages from Auto Meter I can read all three at a quick glance. JMHO.

Isspro here. They're fuctional, match the look of the Ford dash (more or less) and last but not least- I like 'em! Whatever works for you, go for it- the main thing is to keep tabs on what's what with the engine.
