A mechanical one is live at all times which means what your gauge says RIGHT now is what the pressure is RIGHT now. It just helps you in the case of oil starvation so you can see your pressure drop instantly and turn the ignition off. That and you can ensure your pressure evenly fluctuates with RPM.

I run a mechanical one simply because I built the whole car and it was just as easy as a stock style setup, plus I already had the Autometer mechanical gauge.

Happened to a friend of mine. Lost oil pressure going down the highway. He just thought "oil pressure sensor again"---- couple miles later..... Boom! Lol
If you have a mechanical gauge and it starts acting up, something's wrong.

Lol when I was younger I had several TBI 350 Chevys. The oil pressure sensor commonly ***** up on those. Often the gauge starts jumping around, or quitting. Happened to a friend of mine.
