johvis gave a good account. Let me add: I got autometer gauges IMO they are not worth the money. second, If you have hot/cold temp lights, use one for your temp gauge leaving the other free for something like a tach. Forget mechanical gauges, you will have plenty of trouble enough with electrical! If you get a gas gauge you need to be sure it will work with your Ford sender. also the new gauge will most likely let you bypass the the CV module. The attachment on the oil sender is NPT, so you can get the T or the right-angle you need from a plumbing shop, not auto zone. And finally... well, that's probably enough. Good luck!
