Earily Bronco Gauge Options

[Strike2]

So I have a couple of question on which style of aftermarket gauge people are using.
I'll be running a 75-302 with a 96 explorer EFI and the wire harness is converted using EFI guys utube tutorial. I'm not looking for hi-end gauges but rather something in the middle cost range if possible.

Is anyone running these gauges or have any thoughts?

My 2 question are:
[*]what if any oem gauges will currently work and would you trust the age of them? oil, alt, water temp. (fuel gauge is not an issue)
[*] Mechanical or Electric

I would probably trust GlowShift as much as I would Autometer, which is to say they will likely work but quality varies. I've wasted too much money on Autometer over the years.

OEM gauges: Probably a better question for EFIGuy. Many newer gauge clusters pull their data from the CAN bus and rely on standard messaging. I don't think early Ford OBDII systems had a CAN bus, due to licensing to Bosch, but I could be wrong. So a newer gauge cluster may not talk to your older '96 computer.

There are many after all-in-one gauge clusters that just pull their data from the CAN bus, so they are plug-n-play. You can get a basic Scan Gauge for $150 or spend $2K+ on a full race gauge set.

Mech or Electrical: Definitely electric

Thanks Digger!
I'm going to try/order the glowshift gauges and go with electric.
