Although I don't own a Delta, these are very good, easy to install, and inexpensive. They are available as a white or black face.

I put these in my '67 Delta 88 a few years ago. Got them new at a swap meet for I think about $20 for the trio. Not sure of the brand now, but they have a stylized "M W" on the faces. They work fine. They're even illuminated. Left to right volts, water temp, oil pressure.

Just a reminder, whatever you go with, be sure your sender for the water temp gauge is in a place where it is in the water at all times. The will usually be on the intake manifold.
