Is the oil pressure gauge mechanical or electrical?  The earlier clusters had mechanical oil pressure gauges.  Be careful when changing from a amp gauge to a voltmeter you can't just switch them.

Amp gauges were 73-75 ONLY. Plugging this into something newer will result in crispy wiring. You can convert it to a volt setup by relocating the gauge contact pins on the back as well as getting a new printed circuit for it.
