2-5/8in C/F Mechanical Gauge Cup

The 2-5/8in C/F Mechanical Gauge Cup from AutoMeter (MPN 2152) is an essential instrument cluster upgrade for serious automotive enthusiasts and mechanics performing engine diagnostics or custom vehicle builds. This mechanical gauge cup serves as a direct replacement or upgrade component for classic and modern engine monitoring systems, delivering reliable analog readouts without electronic dependency. Whether you're tuning a carbureted engine, diagnosing fuel system pressure issues, or integrating gauges into a custom hot rod or restoration project, this gauge cup provides the foundation for accurate real-time engine data visibility.

Designed with a 2-5/8-inch diameter face, this mechanical gauge cup features AutoMeter's time-tested analog movement technology that responds directly to mechanical input without relying on electrical sensors or digital processing. The cup-style mounting design allows for flush integration into custom dashboard panels, gauge clusters, or underdash installations common in street rods, classic restorations, and performance builds. The compact dimensions (5.65 x 3 x 7.65 inches) and lightweight construction (0.34 lbs) make it ideal for tight engine compartments or custom gauge pod fabrication where space and weight are critical considerations.

Professional mechanics and weekend fabricators alike benefit from this gauge cup's direct mechanical operation—no wiring complexity, no module failures, and no dependency on vehicle electrical architecture. It's particularly valuable for vintage fuel-injected conversions, carbureted engine swaps, and any build where traditional dashboard gauges have been removed or modernized. Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic gauge line connections and simple panel modification, making it accessible for DIY enthusiasts while maintaining the reliability standards expected in shop environments.
