2-5/8in Phantom Water Temp. Gauge 120-240

The 2-5/8in Phantom Water Temp. Gauge 120-240 by AutoMeter is a precision mechanical water temperature instrument designed for drivers who demand reliable engine monitoring in street rods, custom vehicles, and performance applications. This analog temperature gauge delivers real-time coolant temperature feedback, allowing operators to detect overheating conditions before engine damage occurs. The full-sweep mechanical design eliminates electronic dependencies, making it an ideal choice for vehicles with custom wiring harnesses, vintage builds, or systems where simplicity and durability take priority over digital readouts.

Built with AutoMeter's proven mechanical movement, this water temperature gauge operates on a 120–240 degree Fahrenheit scale and features a crisp white face with easy-to-read markings visible in various lighting conditions. The 2-5/8-inch diameter accommodates standard gauge pod installations and dashboard openings found on most aftermarket gauge panels and custom instrument clusters. Full-sweep needle movement provides immediate visual feedback—the needle travels smoothly across the entire dial during warm-up and operation, giving drivers instant confidence in their engine's thermal status and reducing guesswork during diagnostics.

Hobbyists, race teams, and custom automotive builders benefit most from this gauge's straightforward installation and authentic analog presentation. The mechanical construction resists electrical noise and interference common in high-performance engine bays with ignition systems or aftermarket electronics. Compatible with any water temperature sender on the market, it integrates seamlessly into hot rod instrument clusters, street machine dashboards, and restoration projects where originality and vintage aesthetics are valued alongside modern reliability.
