You'll need to make an adapter ring for the tach. Years ago I made mine from a horn button ring from a Formuling France steering wheel. It had the perfect o.d. and i.d. The other gauges can run VDO senders but won't be accurate. You can have a speedometer shop alter the gauges to be accurate to the senders , though.

I have a VDO oil pressure sending unit with my original EMPI o/p gauge, it was tested against a mechanical gauge and found to be accurate.

Slingshot on here did a repo one, pm him and see if he has any left, an original one will cost you over $500
