YOu have to have Electrical Fuel Pressure and Oil Pressure if you want them in the car... Mechanical means you have fuel/oil going into the gauge unit... I have all Electrical Units, being as I have all my gauges in my cabin...


AEM: A/F
AEM: BOOST
AEM: Fuel Pressure

Ford Racing: Water Temp
Ford Racing: Oil Pressure
Ford Racing: Volt Meter (not in yet)

deff get electric. A lot easier to install and a lot safer. mechanical lines can break causing fire, burning, and destroying your interior. Electrical is the way to go. i bought mechanical and then returned them and bought electrical

A pillar from SOS

Click to expand...
I have the Glowshift Apillar...
Installation was drill three (for wires) holes in the stock pillar and use 4 screws with black caps to mount the new piece on... I am not sure if yours is the same but if not its a full pillar and its easier.... Getting the wires in was easy...


From under the hood..

Send your wires down under the evap system into the inner fender...
Then into the rubber grommet right behind the clutch pedal..
Then shoot up the dash by the pinch rails (I pulled my dash and trim out)..
Then put your apillar on slightly while pulling slack through the gauge holes..
Then pop the apillar in and start plugging the gauges into the wires and installing them

The SOS replaces the entire A pillar...its $140 but its a OEM color match
