I believe for mechanical gauges you have to run separate lines to the dash gauges themselves? Stop me if I'm wrong, but I looked into them briefly and thats why I stopped considering them. The last thing I need is oil or fuel blowing all over my dash and me when I'm driving, I'm already worried enough about antifreeze from the heater core :p
