Mechanical vs. Electronic Temperature Sending Units???

[Fischer]

So is there a difference in anything other than the obvious. There seems to be a moderate difference in price.

Well, you don't want to run a hot fluid line to the gauge inside your cab!

Autometer electric gauges aren't limited to a 90 degree sweep like that manufacturer.

"That" manufacturer S/W has been around for along time. Looks like they are finally updating their line of gauges.
Stewart Warner was the gauge of choice back in the 60's & 70's.
The elec. gauges are 270 degree sweep, not 90 degree. Mechanical gauges are full sweep.

Thanks for the link Fischer.

Alec:

You are correct on the elec. gauge being 90 sweep, my bad. The mech are 270 full sweep.
On a side note, Autometer makes only a select few elec. gauges with full sweep.
I think that the S/W 's graduation on the elec. gauges are easier to read. JMOP.
