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?

you could get the vdo dipstick sending unit! It is pretty cheap. However when adding a console the way to go is the factory sending plate and sending unit. They are easily installed, keeps your car original and with a wire extension plug right into the factory harness (green with black wire) in front of the battery.
