Looks exactly like my Phantom gauge only with the Ford logo on it. Even slightly registering in the vacuum so paralax can be accounted for on a right hand mount. To bad mine is left hand mount.

The Phantom gauges offer electric water and oil temp gauges, fords are only offered in mechanical. The electric are much easier to hook up and route the necessary stuff than mechanical which will require a probe for water and an oil line for oil routed to the pillar, thru the firewall, and to the engine. Much harder to deal with than just wire.

That's a boost and it is mechanical in the Phantom.

All boost are mechanical. They run off a vacuum line which is no big deal to hook up. but a mechanical oil pressure gauge requires an oil line to the gauge from the engine. Ever see one leak inside a vehicle. I have. The mechanical water temp gauge requies a metal line from the gauge to the engine. Difficult to bend and route and affected by temps from surrounding items like engine, ac, interior temp etc. Electric oil press and water temp are the only way to go. Boost doesn't make any difference.
