like the title askes, whats the diffrence?

i want to put a few extra gauges in the car, like A/F ratio, and fuel pressure but i'm not sure if i need to spend all the extra cash for electric gauges. I understand they are a little easier to install and might be a little more accurate, but are they worth the cost?


thanks for any info...

If you want the fuel pressure gauge in the car it must be electric. The mechanical gauge needs to have fuel run to it, which would not be safe in the car. I am not sure on accuracy of the 2, but I have had mech. and elec. nitrous pressure gauges and both seem to accurate.

I like electric gauges. They are as accurate IMO as a mechanical but perhaps don't respond as fast to little changes, but the are a lot easier to install.

You want electric gauges. The new ones have a microprocessor in them and are very accurate as well as responsive to small changes. Some of them even have data logging capability. Check out the Autometer line.
