electrical is easier to hook up. I was told that Mechanical gauge is more accurate, but these days, electrical gauges are soo accurate, i don't think it matters.

I had friend who had mechanical oil pressure gauge in his car, and made serious mess when tube poped out from back of gauge...

Electrical for a Daily Driver.

Mechanical for a car that only sees track time.

The Electrical oil pressure gauge should come with everything you need...unless you decide to remote mount the sending unit, like I did (to protect against NVH damage to the sending unit).
