Ls1 swap guages? 85 z28

So I have a 1985 z28 I am doing good an LS swap in... my plan was to go aftermarket guages....

I have yet to look deep into this. I am doing a 4th gen tank swap as well, and was wondering. How are people doing this? Do all the guages read as outputs from the PCM? Are their certain style guages required for oil pressure to engine temp and fuel. Any help in directing me.

Thank you.

Re: Ls1 swap guages? 85 z28

Oil, temp, voltage, fuel are driven by sensors and senders, not the ECM. Stock fuel gauge is on a 0-90 Ohm scale, whereas the 4th gen fuel tank is on a 40-250 Ohm scale. You'll need to account for that.
