k im changing out my gauges to a used unit with 100mph speedo and a tach. problem is...my oil pressure gauge is electrical...but the new one is mechanical i think.

the new cluster doesnt have terminals for this gauge, and the printed circut does not go to it either, so that means it would have to be mechanical though right? but the gauge still has three prongs like my electrical one does. what does this mean?

im almost positive i cant just use my old gauge cluster ansd just swap the gauges in(cuz that would be much easier)i would like to use mine if i can. it is in better shape...if this can be done i would like to hear how

but if not, how do i hook up the mechanical stuff?
