I was wondering if all gauge panels and gauges fit on my 78,I just like the look of the newer ones and are easier to find,all I have is speedo and gas gauges,the rest are just idiot lights

They will fit but you will need to do a couple of things first if you are upgrading from idiot lights to gauges.
1. Change out the sending units for your oil pressure and water temp. Be sure to get senders that are calibrated with the ranges of your gauges.
2.You may very well have to re-pin your electrical connector that plugs into the back of your gauge cluster to make sure it's wired properly to your replacement cluster.
