Default Please help with gauges asap!

I need gauges! I have used the search function but really want to be positive on this one. I have a 1971 coupe big block. It has been under restoration for months and we discovered today upon trying to finish up and install new harnesses that the car had been in an engine fire in the past. Long story short, we want to convert to entirely new autometer gauges. Could anyone please!!!!!! provide me with what sizes and senders I need to convert all the gauges to autometers, regardless of style. I am really sorry for being such a pain, but we are trying to get the car done and would really really appreciate any help you all could kindly offer. Thanks so much in advance!

The senders will come with the gauges. You only need the OP sender and the temp sender. Get rid of the amp gauge and go with a volt gauge. My speedo is electronic only because the T56 has no provisions for a mech gauge. The tach go with electronic and not mech drive.

If you don't care about style, then why are you limiting yourself to autometer?

I wanted autometer due to their favorable reputation, and because I have had good success with them. Thank you all very much for your incredibly helpful assistance, I've got gauges being shipped! Thanks again!
