new gauge wireing?

Ok my plan is to replace all my stock gauges with new autometer ones. Questions are: which ones are mechanical and which are electric? Do i need new sending units/wires? would they connect to stock wire harnes?

There are no stock mechanical gauges. You will need all new sending units. If you get creative and modify the dash end of the wiring harness, you can use the existing wiring with electric aftermarket gauges.
