[DeTomaso] Thinking about new gauges - looking for advice

[Jim Gray]

I have the Phantom gauges from Autometer because I wanrted the black bezels 
with white faces.

Otherwise I second everything Will says.  Go Autometer and go eltric speedo 
so you don't have to worry about changing gear ratios or tire sizes.  You 
just reprogram the thing and you know it's accurate.
