Silver or chrome (to stand out), dark blue (to blend in with the interior), or Ford blue (since it's a Ford).

Why was it recalled? Was it the electric fuel pressure gauge from Autometer?

the recall was from last yr, i have the 4309 electric fuel pressure gauge, the sending units are bad and go bad and they couldnt find a new that wouldn hold up. (figures my sending unit goes bad at the track and i was 1.5 hrs away from home, luckly i tightened the crap outta of the front eletrical studs that went inside the unit and it stopped it from leak'n i just didnt have an readings after on my gauge it went bad) one so they will replace mine with the 4363 gauge.. also my speedo never worked (they also said they had a recall on that but i'd have to send it in to see if it was within that time) so i will send that back to get looked at and my fuel level i have to flick the front glass for it to work.. so i'm just going to send back 3 of my gauges, thanks for your opinion i was thinking black/grey/white something like that..Thanks .Alex L

forgot to mention, i called summit racing and tried to buy a new sending unit and they told me my gauge and sending units are discontinued, so i called up autometer and they told me to send my gauge and sending unit in and they will replace it with a 4363 but i have to pay shipping back to me on it and they will contact me and let me know how much. my orig gauge though costed me 90 bucks shipped to a local speed shop, this new one they are going to swap it with is 190 at summitracing, i was wondering why there new gauge was 190 i thought mine just went up i didnt pay attention to the numbers..also my speedo never worked right, so they said there might be a recall on that i have to send it in so they can verify the date on it ? and also i'm sending back in my fuel level gauge because i have to flick the front of the glass to get it to start workin.
