[DeTomaso] Mech vs electric oil pressure gauges

[Charles McCall]

Do you want your gauge to look pretty or be accurate? The advantage of the
mechancial gauge is that it will more likely give you a true reading. 

I suppose an aftermarket electric gauge and matched sender might be more
accurate that the stock gauge and sender, but I have a significant
difference between the reading on my mechanical and my stock gauge.

Asunto: [DeTomaso] Mech vs electric oil pressure gauges

Has anyone looked at the advantage/disadvantages of mechanical versus
electric oil pressure gauges?  The gauge I want is like $180 electric and
$40 mechanical.  Not an insignificant difference.  I'd guess the response
time is quicker for the electric, but in seconds or in milli seconds?  I'd
guess the mechanical is more reliable.
   
  I know we don't want mechanical fuel pressure gauges in the cabin, but is
the oil line an issue also?
