Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!

ill pm creight in a day or so if nothing turns up. thanks!
As I understand it, and someone can correct if I'm wrong or support if I'm right, mechanical gauges of any type means that the input is done right to the gauge itself. Meaning you would have an oil line straight to the gauge itself that the gauge would be using whereas an electrical gauge will have a sensor that taps into the oil line and then you only have a couple wires running from the sensor to the gauge - keeping the oil out of the interior compartment.

Correct, Mechanical means you'll have a line with oil in it inside your car running to the gauge, electrical has a sending unit on the motor and sends a signal to the gauge..
Fred, don't get mechanical. Go electrical, I'll help you run the sensor. You getting this for your oil feed line for the Precision turbo sitting in your garage? Sell your other gauges and buy some Prosports.
+1 for ELE! Especially OIL!
I got mine @ Princess Auto (Windsor, ON) for like $40. Fairly accurate didnt feel like ordering one
I wanted to keep the OEM sensor in tact so i added a "T" fitting
bottom left of the photo, the OEM sensor is on the "extension" part, the gauge sending unit is on the "T" part. Was pretty simple, run one wire to ground, one to power, one to sending unit IIRC...
