If so adding a gauge cluster or a gauge and tach cluster is pretty straight forward.
Once you have a cluster the wire harness connector/plug needs to be repinned to match the gauge cluster correctly.
A gauge temp sender needs to replace the engine's thermal switch.
Then the oil pressure hard line running from the engine to the cluster is added.
If you are adding a tach it has a seperate harness as well.

Tbone1964 reconditions clusters but shoulld be able to fix you up with a tested ready to go stock cluster assembly.

Or you can just hang some add on gauges that are electric or mechanical.
"Tbone1964 reconditions clusters but should be able to fix you up with a tested ready to go stock cluster assembly." Thank you Tim, I appreciate it.

Let me know if I can help you. I can offer you many different options to get you a cluster or modify your existing cluster to fit your specific needs.

Thank you,
Tom

Re: Temp Gauge Options

My cluster has the temp gauge but it isn't hooked up to anything. Im assuming there is a thermostat that plugs into the block. Can yall tell me what part im looking for and where I can find one?

Here is link to a picture of the 2 types of temperature sending units used in the left head between #1 and #3 cylinders. The one on the bottom is for the idiot light dash. The one on the top is for the gauge dash. That also needs to be swapped out when doing the conversion I mentioned in my post above.
