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.

Re: Manifold pressure off MAP sensor?
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.
