I want another source of pressurized antifreeze coming into my interior about as much as I want fuel coming into my interior. And you have to bleed it...forget it! In my opinion, there is no reason not to get the electric gauge, other than saving some coin. If somebody cant connect a few wires to a sending unit properly, they have no business working on cars in the first place. You can read the autometer full sweep electric "ultra lite"gauge (not sure about the other ones they have) fine, it has 2 psi increments. Maybe its the aircraft mechanic in me, but you wont see any fluids running to the cockpit of an aircraft for the same reasons you shouldnt run them into the interior of your car. Electric is the way to go.
