I'm curious what brand of gauges any of you guys are running inside your cowl vent grille pods? I looked at autometer but they only have a couple that are water proof and my car isn't a daily, only see's rain if I'm caught in it and gets wet when washed, so is it a big deal if you run regular style gauges? I'm running autometer pro-comp inside but want to run fuel pressure, etc outside. I have looked at some pics on here of the cars with these gauges but can't really see what they are but some look like basic inside gauges to me . what ya running?

I have an Autometer Phantom fuel pressure gauge on my hood.

It's mechanical and it's been driven through the rain for a couple years with no problems. It's even sat under snow that piled up on the car

okay, thanks Mike. I just wanted to check if the ones that we usually mount in the dash where okay outside but the ones autometer mostly list are that type, I'll give them a shot .
