Re: GT gauge cluster (164) 140-160 1970

Chris --

"...a speedo bar that works like a thermometer..."

Yeah, a clever gizmo. It's really a long skinny drum (sideways) with a "barber pole" spiral around it, and you view the drum along its length through a slit.

"...find a set of gauges for oil pressure and temperature..."

I don't see why you couldn't adapt the optional gauges used in the 240 to this application. They're made by VDO, and as long as you have the proper senders, they should work fine. The GT water temp gauge will work with your existing sender. But if you find an iol temp gauge, be sure to also get its sender.

"Do I need the sender for the gas gauge?"

Yes — but the one you need is the one you have.
