Electrical gauges have a sendig unit somewhere (whatever your measuring) and sends a signal electronicly to the guage, like the factory gauges. Mechanical gauges mechanically measure whatever your measuring, like oil pressure for example, mechanical will have a small hose that brings actual oil to the gauge itself. heh, that may not make too much sense, but I would go electrical personally if you plan on mounting any gauges inside the car, I wouldnt want to run an oil or coolant line inside the card
