Gauges?

I have a 1978, E250, with a 351M, and a plethora of problems. But the one I'm most concerned with at the moment is getting an accurate reading on gauges in the cabin. The original gauge cluster is not very trustworthy, and after replacing the ICVR once already and still getting bad reads I'm about ready to give up on it. So I'm looking for gauges I can mount in the cabin, just temp and oil pressure, and if anyone has a good recommendation on what to buy I'd love to hear it.

I have the standard set of 3 oil/temp/volts from Sunpro mounted along the bottom of my dash, and I'm really happy with it.

Ya, you can get those 3 pod gauge setups pretty cheap and they are more reliable than factory. Autometer makes a nice gauge but they are quite a bit more expensive.
