Nice goodies there Ben. Oddly enough, our local AutoZone is now selling Autometer guages. I thought I fell into the twilight-zone.

I would of loved to have a diesel pressure gauge set to check my compression over the years...... as I went from 55 mpg to 35 when I sold it over 20 years..

yeah, i've been wanting a diesel tester for awhile now.

that gauge pod is made by a guy on the 'tex, he had a list of people that wanted them like a year ago and was going to make a bunch of them. well, it never worked out and he put all of his test-runs on ebay, he had like 25-30 of them. it fits really good, just needs a little tweaking.
