Yea, I priced Equus gauges for mine and it came upo to $220 for speedo, tach, fuel, water temp, oil pressure, volts, and vacuum. Five 2" gauges, plus the 3.5" tach and speedo. I am contemplating moving mine all inside to the cluster, just not sure I wont miss them right in front of me after all these years of having them there!

Schucks and Kragen sell Equus.

I've got this thing to fill up. Once the car is drivable I'll be working towards that. And I will be using Equus gauges too.

I acquired it in a trade. I traded a laptop for that, a rollbar, subframe connectors and rear frame rail kit, a black dash cover, and some air shocks. I may end up holding on to it though, I have pretty much everything to make a drag car, I suppose I could build one of those next. Seems alot easier than building a street car.

You can buy a Covan panel for around $160 or less. Then put your Equus gauges in and save a ton of money.
