Electrical or Mechanical gauges??

I want to get a gauge pod with some gauges. I want and oil temp and air fuel ratio meter. Do I buy the electrical gauges? How easy are these to install/run all wiring. My car info is in sig.

I just installed an arif/fuel guage a few days ago. The install was a breeze. It came with a connector to splice into the o2 sensor easy. The air/fuel guage is electrical only. I don't know the pros and cons of a mechanical oil temp guage vs. an electrical one. I have heard that mechanical are quicker to respond to changes, but I don't know for sure on that. I bet the installation of the electrical one would be alot easier.

Good luck with it.
