Default Question about using LT1 gauges

Doing a LS1 swap on my 94 Camaro. Will the LS1 oil pressure sending unit work with the LT1 gauge cluster. I thought I read it would can't can't find anything using search.

Also...The 98 LS1 temp sensor wirks with the LT1 gauges..Right...

Tryint to order my sending units today and want to make sure I've got the right stuff.

Shoot John at Speartech a PM. I'm sure he knows. I used all new Autometer gauges, so I didn't have an issue with sending units. Sorry.

Default gauges

Which Autometer gauges did you use. Just getting ready for that part of my project. I have the old school gauges that I used on my old sbc. Will they work? Any help would be appreciated.

My 94 uses a stock oil sending and a 98 temp sender and works great with the stock gauges.

The sending unit should work fine from the ls1 the lt1 and ls1 use a 0-90 ohm oil pressure sending unit. The 98 three wire temperature sensor will work with the lt1 temperature gauge also.

I did a custom Cluster and a full A-pillar. Speedo, Tach, Oil Press., Volts, Fuel Level, N20 Press, Water Temp, Fuel Pressue. They are all the Auto-meter Ultra-Lite.

I will post some pics. Just let me find them. Do you want part numbers too?
