I'm guessing that by 'mechanical', the seller means analog (as opposed to digital). I doubt you'd have a problem with interference with the other gauges... as long as you install them correctly. With any aftermarket gauges, my opinion is that you always avoid cheap ones. I expect Mallory is probably OK. I expect there are better names out there...

Couple things to watch for.. make sure you can run the tach on your 4cyl engine.

Oil pressure gauges with plastic pressure hoses suck... get an electric one, or one with a quality steel hose. Them plastic hoses break, and all your oil leaves the engine eventually resulting in no oil pressure, and no more engine if you don't catch it in time.

Make sure you have a place to put 'em that won't interfere with the gearshift or you legs or whatever...
