Aftermarket gauges to fit original openings
 

Does any aftermarket company make a gauge set that will fit the openings on a 36 dash? My speedo works well enough, but the temp/oil/amp and ESPECIALLY the fuel gauge are unreliable. I have some mini gauges in my glove box but I would prefer to view these from the designed original position and have a glove box for other items.
Not interested in hanging additional stuff off the bottom of the dash, or spending too much for restoration of the original gauges.

It’s probably the sending units or bad connections.
the operating system of the gauges and senders have to match to have proper operation.

Has the car been converted to 12v?
