I'm thinking about getting the 2-Gauge Cowl Grille for my car. Holds two 2 5/8" gauges.
Question is, would you all recommend getting mechanical guages instead of the electrical gauges? I already had an Electrical Oil Pressure gauge fail resulting in a near stroke driving down the highway. So, the two gauges would be for Oil Pressure and Fuel Pressure. My understanding is that mechanical gauges are much more accurate as well. But of course, if I went electrical, they would be mounted inside the car.
Also, what about Speedo's? Should I get a mechanical speedo and try to hook it up using the right gears and cables, or get an Electical and try and set it up with the "halls effect" sender (not sure how to dial in the speedo correctly?)? All I want to know is if i'm going 60mph or not driving down the road. The mechanical speedo is $80, the electronic speedo is $250. Would it be worth the money????
