A. I don't want to reinvent the wheel, and B, I want something that
looks like it fits in an automotive panel, not a homemade looking
thing.

If you know as much as you say you do, it should be easy to build it with
parts from Radio Shack.

If you know as much as you say you do, it should be easy to build it with
parts from Radio Shack.

Well.... if you don't want to by aircraft parts you might try a scientific
equipment supplier to find a gauge calibrated in in-hg. Call your local
high school science department as ask who they use.

May we ask why use need this calibration?

A deutz is a general purpose diesel engine, not a specialized wood
chipper engine. Many wood chippers have Chevy, Ford or Jeep
engines-yes, Jeep engines, the old F-head, or six cylinder
Continentals.
