dakota digital also makes em. The only real pointer I can give you (I made my own lol) is make sure it is temperature compensated. Most guages only read relative temp with thermocouples, meaning your engine temp reading you need to add or subtract the difference between 70 deg and the current temp of your guage dial... kinda annoying.
give a man a watch and he'll allways know what time it is. give him two and he can never be sure again.

Things are rarely just crazy enough to work, but they're frequently just crazy enough to fail hilariously.

I got my sensor connection thermocouple ring from Mario. I run a dakota digital dash gauge. I run a second TC that I can view in my ECU/data log.

Got the same gauge from Auberins.com. Had to get ten bucks worth of tc wire and extend the cable though. But, that was cool cause to get the engine out you really need a connector on the tc anyway. I was having to remove it from #3 and i had it under the tin. Sucked.
