I got one, the hard part is routing the lines through the firewall.
other than that just hook up both ends.

Don’t most people switch TO a mechanical water temp gauge for more accurate readings? Or is it for other reasons?

Right. You can't beat the accuracy of a liquid filled mechanical gauge.

the mechanical water gauge is easy too, just route the little metal wire from the gauge to the sending unit that screws into the intake. its simple.

temp gauge is very easy there is a red power wire that u can hook to a constant power to the fuse box and black is ground and then u neeed to run the wire threw the firewall by the clutch cable if u have a cable trannie. and then u hook up the sensor right on the manafold... i just hooked up mine..goood luck
