What is the preferred type and manufacturer and source for an oil, water and fuel pressure gauge non-digital. Must use electrical due to long run from rear engine to panel.  All help will be greatly appreciated.    Wendell 
 
 
Hi Wendell,
 
VDO is a good brand, and I've never been disappointed by their stuff.   Take a look at http://www.egauges.com/ for a complete listing of gauges and senders.  They have the odd metric sizes too, which is handy.  Below is the list I've kept of the stock sender sizes. 
 

Water temp in water pump housing- M12 X 1.5

Water temp in rear housing (near oil pressure sender)- M10 X 1.0

Oil temp (in pan)- M16 X 1.5

Oil pressure- M10 X 1.0  
 
Cheers,
Rusty
