I just removed mine to add dual mechanical gauges under the dash. Sad to remove that moon eyes gauge. Nice to see the temp under the hood

Try to get one that is liquid filled - they tend to last longer under engine vibration.

Stan. I have to ask, why a temp gauge in the head vs a mechanical gauge under the dash? At least the under dash one is visible when driving.
