Default gauges????

whats the difference or what do i need mechanical, short sweep electrical, full sweep electrical. im looking to get boost, oil presure, water temp and a a/f.
second are the a/f gauges that are not wideband any good im looking at all autometer phantom gauge just want to know if its worth it to buy the other(not wide band) a/f gauge.
thanks

an a/f guage is pretty useless unless its a wideband, dont get a mechanical oil pressure if they guages are going to be in the car. get electric, not sure on the boost

wideband for A/F ratio, and full sweep for your basic ones... a little more accurate than the mechanical or short

I have an autometer in my cobra, its the blue cobalt boost (mechanical) . Its way too bright and it drives me insane at night. Other then that, it works well and is easy to read.
I also have a Kenne Bell fuel press guage (electric) and its perfect for me both during the day and night.
