It seems i have a VDO Oil Temp gauge without the sender. I just saw a taco plate and sender on ebay go for over $150.

Are there any other options? that will incorporate the gauge?

So I am stuck with this gauge...Should I try to trade the gauge for cyl head temp gauge and sender? Cheaper? Did all cars have the cyl temp sender? I haven't checked my car.

What gauges did the post 73 cars have in the console? Clock, oil temp and voltmeter?

Is the gauge the 2 1/16th inch version, or the full size stock one.

The senders for the two gauges are different. Depending on what case you are using (if it came out of a bus, for instance) you can not use the long stock sending unit, but you can use the later short sending unit. But if you use the short sending unit, you HAVE to use the 2 1/16th inch gauge.
