Im in the same boat so to speak. I'll need to get guages for my boat, and the only thing I have come across for gauges was autometer makes adapters. Dont quote me on that, It just what I've heard.

are you trying to keep stock gauges? if not go with a set of equus or autometer and make you a gauge panel to replace factory. i used the vent panel and pilar pod for mine. i am swapping my tach and speeedo out to 3 3/8 autometer or equus in the spring. i used equus oil,water,volt,and fuel.

If it is for your stang, most people, even with Ford engines, have a few gauges in the cowl area, i fo in my 89 RS, but i have a non functional tach, speedo and water temp. I want to swap them out with autometer pieces one day, but my voltage and fuel level still work, otherwise, my oil pressure and water temp are mounted in the cowl of my hood.

Bumping this back up, is there any way to use the stock gauges without the pcm? If not, what are my options?

Is there anyone who makes a panel to put aftermarket gauges in the stock location?

I'm using all stock gauges in my Datsun. Carb'd, no PCM. You just need to buy or make adapters to get the old sensors to fit. This thread it pretty old. There have been numerous posts with part numbers and pics since then

As for a gauge panel, sort of helps if you specify which type of car.
