Some of the gauges were not that bad, and don't look cheep like most of the
EGT that are around. Autometer may have a matching EGT now, but I can't
remember. It is still a very good resource to check out, and most of the
prices for gauges and probes are not that out of wack. Tons of other hard
to find goodies as well.
