aftermarket gauges

my speedo is off, and my fuel, temp, and volt gauges don't work. i want to replace them with some aftermarket gauges, probably autometer. i don't want to do too much modification, so i was wondering, what size speedo and tach would i need for it to fit in the stock circle. same thing for the small gauges.

I don't know but plan on doing it in a year or two, I would say take a measuring tape to it, as Autometer only makes a few sizes, I believe the tach and speedo are th 3 3/8" ?? or so, definately not the 5" and I think the 2 5/8" is to small, not sure, measure and see.
