Default Please help looking for a Oem gauge.

I recently got a 1986 camaro iroc with 25,000 miles. One owner that was my dads. The car has sit pretty much all its life. I already been fighting this thing trying to get it to run. Fuel pump all filters the list goes on. I got it running. But the oil pressure gauge don't work. I'm 100 percent the gauge is bad. So I'm looking for a place that sales stock Oem gauges. The gauges have no fade at all. The car has sit inside its life. The tach was the same way but I cleaned the connectors. Then the oil pressure gauge stopped working. I have ordered one gauge but sent it back wrong colors. I want the tach to come with it. The other problem is it has a low idle miss and runs fat until up to normal running temp. Any help would be very thankful..

well you could just switch out the gauge faces from your old one if the colors are wrong

How did you come to the conclusion it's 100 percent the gauge is bad, have you already replaced the fail prone oil pressure switch on the engine?

Agree with Senior Mod, swap out the pressure sending unit on the block.
I believe the sending unit is located by the oil filter and would have a single wire going to it.

Well i thought my gauges were bad so i pulled the whole cluster and then i bent the cooper leads straight and then put the cluster back in and everything worked. Just my 2 cents and it was free only took me 30 mins to do.
