think all you need are the wires going to ur coil for the rev counter, had a GSI clock in mine bu8t my coil was puting out a negative reading so wouldnt actually work. i swear theres some dodgy wiring in my car as when the gear box earth was taking off to change the gear box the hand brake cable started glowing an caught fire. For some reason the hand break cable became the earth.

i aint sure but i think that the rev counter is driven from the alternator. when my fan belt snapped the rev counter stopped working?

think only the diesels have there revs signal from the alternator, the petrol engines get it from the coil, to make this work on the dash you run a wire from the green wire on the coil to the connection on the back of the dash but check 1st as usually the wires are taped up in the loom. to make the oil pressure guage ull need a 2 pin sender from an sr or sri or gte/gsi,

are there any other vauxs u can get the oil temp sender off?
