Put a T into the oil pressure sender and keep the original sender and the aftermarket
sender, The same can be done with the water or you could get rid of the stupid
throttle body coolant loop and put the temp sender in where that connected.
Of course the voltage gauge is a simple one and should just hook right into a key on
wire since you don't want it to always drain power.

I agree with blue beast plus if you have the thermostat housing with the plug in it you can put sender there also.

guys I'm actually looking to remove my whole cluster and try to replace it with autometer gauges. I'm just wondering if anyone has done it before. What gauges would hook up ok and how they made, or where they bought the bezel to hold the gauges. I appreciate the help but I already have an after market water temp and oil pressure gauge hooked up. Im just trying to figure out a way to put the after market gauges, (Tach, Speedometer, volt meter, oil pressure, water temp, and fuel gage), Back in the original positions or close to it and have them all work correctly. thanks, den7bronco1

Go to www.fsb.com
I think they are in the tech right ups
or you can do a search for gauges.
I think one was the ultimate gauge install or something.
Ultimately you have to take the factory gauges out
and really start from scratch.
A little complicated but not impossible.
