You don't need separate sending units for oil and temp. The gauges come with all the sending units required for each gauge. Most people can easily install gauges with a little mechanical skill and following the directions. Usually mount all the gauges in the new panel, then unplug the old and panel and wire/plumb in the new gauges, then screw the panel in place.

I just have to jump in and say... i'm impressed with the help you guys offer in this forum. You guys are either near my age (56) or at least some of the most respectful bunch of younger men i've come across. Think i've finally found a worthy site!

i second all of that! im 22 and i couldn't ask for more from any group of guys out there. I really appreciate all the patience and tolerance you guys have for the questions i ask (as remedial and repetitive as they may be). I like to think i know a lot about my car, but the truth is, it's nothing compared to the knowledge and experience you guys have. Not only do i appreciate the advice, i appreciate the confidence and motivation i get to work on my own car by reading threads posted by myself and others. Thanks a lot fellas!!

Well... keep the respect for each other and the egos down, this is by far the best site i've joined (i've even quit a few). And.... keep those Camaros screamin' because i'm a firm believer that a very important key to a long healthy life is adrenalin, yup, adrenalin! Keep giving yourself regular natural doses, just be safe. Support your local dragstrip!
