None of the sensors are shared. The ECM has its own coolant temperature sensor and doesn't care about oil pressure or oil temperature. It reads its own battery voltage (and fuel pump voltage).

That's an Internet myth that is NOT true. If the oil pressure gets low it will NOT "save the engine" by shutting off the fuel pump. The thing that amazes me is that there are supposedly knowledgeable Corvette "experts" out there that continue to propagate this myth. Chris Petris is one of them...

buffer will give you the output you need if you're swapping in a
different speedometer panel. Its a small yellow box and almost
any junkyard has several old F-bodys.
