I'm not buying from a company that doesn't know their product or have questionable customer service when there is a problem. I got full gauges (fuel, oil, temp, volts, clock, electronic speedo) from Autometer and saved money. I'm going to add a hood tach this year.
I already called them out on the installation manual and the spacer goof, plus a number of other things. If you have an original spacer you have to Dremel off certain ridges on the back left side (the 45 degree angle part) to let the gauge sit flat.Pic below with arrow pointers.

You also have to carve off some of the brake pedal bracket to allow clearance.
They are incorporating my pics, and mods into their new install manual. Apparently they've already sent out my mods to other 69 FB installers to remedy the deficiencies. Hopefully with these changes they'll be all dialed in. Sorry you had a bad experience, I had to be my usual prick self to get their attention.
