3 Gauge Piller Replacement?

Hey,

Im having trouble with the three gauges on my driver side piller. Right now it has a oil pressure gauge, an air fuel ratio gauge, and a boost gauge. The Air flow ratio gauge and the boost gauge aren't working right, and need to be replaced. I think i am going to have to replace all three even though the oil pressure gauge works fine, becasue i want them all to match perfectly (not look different from each other at all). I found the autometer part number for the oil pressure gauge (4727) but the boost and air fuel ratio gauges dont show the part number on them. Does anyone have a clue what the part number is for them.

Also, does it matter if i use the same exact gauges that are currently installed (basically cobalt SS specific) or will any gauge that is 2 1/16 size work?

Last, will they come ready to go after hooking them up, or will i need to take it to a place and get them tuned to my car?

thanks for the help!!

I have all Digital AEM Gauges, 2 1/16", and I love them. Any gauge will work, You will not have to "Tune" a gauge to your car. it's simply plug it in, and go!

It's fine, Just forget about it... Anyway, Any gauge will work with any car. What gauges are you going with (Boost, Oil Pressure, etc)

i just got my cobalt ss so sory if i dont know alot about this type of stuff yet.

currently it has a oil pressure, air fuel ratio, and boost gauge in the piller. the oil pressure gauge works, but the other two do not. The Air fuel ratio always says rich and doesnt light up at night. The boost gauge acts like its working becasue the needle moves, but when i driving normal, it always reads below 0. When i accelerate pretty good it reads around 10. (in hg btw) I was under the impression it should read aroudn 0 while driving normal and only be below zero while idleing. maybe im wrong though

First off, With your A/F Gauge, It may be something as simple as a bad sensor. You can buy a sensor, or a whole new gauge.

Your boost gauge should read below 0 (Vacuum) at idle. The more the better, I've read if you're not reading boost it MAY be a vacuum leak but don't hold me to it.
