the difference is in how the guage gets its signal. a mechanical guage has a tube of some kind running from the guage to whatever its reading, a electrical guage uses a sending unit at the sorce and wires to conect it to the guages. i prefer the electrical guages because its easier to run wires and they arn't as delicate as some of the tubes are. jmho
