From no gauges to having gauges

What would i need to do, to get this to work in my 85 delta 88? It didnt come with the extra gauges. I think this looks very cool. I have all of the wires.

You need the correct temp and oil pressure senders and just wire it up. Did you get the little filler piece that goes below the steering column?

An 85 will probably have the pigtail on the harness. I swapped those gauges into an '83 Delta 88 I had years ago and it had the connector. If not, it's not too hard to add the connector. I added it to my '77 Delta 88.

1st photo is the speedometer connector. The gauge package connector comes off this. I've removed the terminal with a small flat pick tool
2nd photo is the gauge connector pigtails inserted into the speedometer connector, not connected to the harness yet.
3rd photo wiring finished. The gauge setup I put in was from a '82-85 B/C car, so I had to cut a hole in the dash panel for the window switch.
