Thanks, Scott - that's what I remembered. Though I may purchase a 1" range indicator. Having had one apart, I'm pretty sure you don't get better resolution (at this price level) for 1/2" than 1". For the range of interest, the internal slider moves the same distance, and my suspicion is that the PC board, which has a grid which in some clever way reads a parallel grid on the slider (it is not a potentiometer), is the same too. To have 2X better resolution one or both would have to have twice as many traces in the same space.
With a different holder it should work on the twin cam 4 cylinder cars (944S, S2, and 968). With a long extension on the indicator it should work like a champ on a 914! Been a while since I've seen one of those in a stock class, though.
