ok whats better mechanical or electric gauges? is there really any difference, whats the type to get? what about those tubes that hook to ur mechanical gauges is that any safe, i dont need water or oil coming in my car

 

I like mechanical guages better. Nothing against electric though. I am using Autometer Pro Comp liquid filled mech. guages for oil pressure and water temp. For the oil pressure I used the stainless braided hose that is actually for fuel pressure guages because I didn't like the idea of the nylon hose breaking in my car!! As for the temp guage, auto meter has a temp probe with a length of tubing attached directly, it does not have coolant running through it so you don't need to worry there. I do have an Auto meter fuel pressure guage that is electric and it works great.
