I have both electrical and mechanical. I run and electric temp and mechanical oil pres with braided line. The resaon is, I already had the oil pressure gauge and had to buy a new temp gauge. The line with the probe on the mech temp gauge broke and had to buy a new gauge any way. This is the 2nd one that did this to me, one was on my old 88GT. So I figured I would try and electrical this time. It works good and I can't complain. But I do like the electrical for the ease of install, and worrying about the probe line,by bending into place only to have it break.
And for the people who run a mech oil pressure gauge , I highly recommend the braided line. The cheap plastic on that comes in the kit sucks. I had one break in my 88 on the pillar and it made a mess. If I ever do buy a new oil pressure gauge it will be electrical also. But that is just my preference...... It all boils down to a matter of prefrence really...
