Message	A mechanical temp gauge doesn't bring coolant to the gauge. It uses a probe into the coolant in the engine that is filled with mercury or a similar substance that substance travels through the tube, usually 6 feet on most gauges, and gauge operates through that. Mechanical gauges are accurate but are a PITA to install in many cases. Z1 Motorsports 770-838-7777 ex 302 www.300zx.com AIM bryanatZ1
