Mechanical or electrical gauges?

Which ones do I use on my 5.3? Doing a oil pressure, air fuel, and exhaust temp, or trans temp until I can get nitrous installed then ill be replacing the last one! If there's something else instead of exhaust r trans let me know!! I defiantly want my oil pressure and wideband
 


On a side note I've always had old trucks so mechinical was always used then. So I really don't know the difference just throwing that out there call me dumb or not oh we'll lol thanks guys
 
Well I don't mind oil being ran through my car if you didn't hook it up wrong wont have to worry about it leaking into the cabin. But a wired gauge would be a lot Easyer to clean up in the install vs having a tube go through the car..

and also how would the exhaust temp gauge hook up? Never had it before lol


and I like your snore lax bill lol
 
Id go electric for an oil pressure gauge. For the pyro gauge(EGT) you need a probe for the exhaust. If you do a search on google for pyro gauge installs on diesels you can prob find quite a bit of info as they're pretty essential on those. Can prob even find youtube vids.

EDIT: Lots of the diesel guys use an Isspro brand IIRC. Any pyro gauge would be fine but that's the prefernce of a lot of diesel guys.

For the probe you have to drill and tape your manifold/header and then thread the probe in. Run it up to the gauge and run power/ground wires to the gauge. That's about the jist of it.
