Classic Instruments Performance Series Gauges: More Than Just a Pretty Face

Classic Instruments made its mark with high quality gauges with retro-inspired designs. Street rodders and custom folks ate them up. Classic Instruments also makes gauges that you muscle car and race car fans should take a look at. A lot of technology sits behind those good-looking faces—technology that delivers precise, reliable readings:

Made with the latest technology to deliver ultra-precise readings, Classic Instruments analog gauges and gauge kits feature retro-inspired designs to give your hot rod, street rod, custom, or muscle car a period-correct look and feel. Beyond just looking good, all of the gauges are designed to work better than your average instrument, too. Don’t believe us? Just take a gander at some of the features incorporated into their full sweep gauges (note: exact features vary per gauge type):

Rugged air core movement combined with microprocessor technology for precise readings and durability
Push-button calibration
Integrated red warning lights that illuminate the entire gauge when activated with user chosen set points
Warning light outputs for additional warning indicator lights
.5–4.5 volt output for data logging systems
Ability to choose between warm white or cool white background lighting
Pressure transducers included where needed
Installation hardware, wiring harness, and weld-in bungs included where needed

Something else that we find extra cool about Classic Instruments is that each and every part is designed, assembled, and calibrated in their Boyne City, Michigan complex—proudly earning them the “Made in the U.S.A.” badge of honor. The attention to detail during assembly is second to none, as every gauge is assembled by hand at the personal workbench of one of the company’s skilled technicians. Talk about a hands-on approach to manufacturing!

Classic Instruments Performance Series Gauges cover common engine functions plus air temperature and pressure, brake pressure, cylinder head temperature, EGT, and transmission temperature. Matching speedometers and tachs are also available.
