Autometer Ultra-Lite. I'm bored with mine. May go Cobalt on console and pillar...
Ultra-Lite IIs look different than stock when illuminated!
11.931 @ 116.33 (MT ET Streets)
12.073 @ 118.43 (Nitto 555)
I love the smell of Nitromethane and rubber in the morning!

73 is the best number.
AutoMeter Ultra-Lite I (one) gauges look almost identical to the stock gauges in daylight. At night, they are perimeter-lit instead of back-lit like the stock ones.
Ultra-Lite II (two) gauges look the same during the day, but are more like the speedometer and tach at night. The silver faces turn black and the numbers are back-lit, but not green.

These are the gauges you'll need.
Replacement Gauges – Autometer (2 1/16)
Oil Pressure – 4327
Sending unit – 2242
Voltmeter – 4391
I replaced my 194 incandescent bulbs with green LEDs.

You need to change the oil pressure gauge as the OEM one is just a dummy gauge..... ie. a glorified idiot light.
The reason you need to change both of them is that they are different enough from the OEM gauges that you can tell the difference when they are side-by-side. If you change both most Marauder people couldn't tell the difference.

Autometer must have screwed up then. If you highlight "View Nightime" on the Ultra-Lite IIs on their website, they're RED!

GAME OVER, YOU LOSE!
Oil pressure sending unit comes in the box with the gauge. Brian I got both the oiland volt gauges so they would be the same. I got the Ultra 1's. Now I'm just waiting for the big thaw to put them in.

I use the Autometer NV gauges and to me they are the closest to stock as far as illumination goes and the whole face is lit up so you wont have any dark spots.

i did the oil gauge only. put the stock face on new gauge. extra work but love the look. found the how-to on this site
better to do a burn-out than fade away

What else needs to be done when changing the sending unit and the oil gauge? Does new wiring have to be ran or it is just swap out the parts and done?

I used the factory wiring at both ends. Needed to put a ring terminal on the sending unit end.
