Will these work for my application?

I really like these gauges, but I'm not sure if they will work for me.  I have ALL electric gauges from the factory including Speedometer, but NO tach currently.  If I get these what all is involved in making them operational.  Will I have to add another sending unit for each gauge or can I just tap into the factory units.  Thanks for your assistance.

     They seem like they will work.  My only concern is like you said you might have to splice into yours since these are universal.  Are you planning on adding a tack to your set up ?

Yes I am actually planning on using all 6 of those gauges and getting a trans temp, Vacuum and oil temp gauge also.  The layout will be revised to put the important stuff in the center and 4 of the smaller gauges at each side, just like the picture, with those extra 3 in a pillar pod.
