Need help identifying these gauges

I removed this from a car at Pick & Pull 20+ years ago. I think it was a late 70's/early 80's Delta 88. I'd like to sell them but obviously I need to know what they go to. I had never seen a car with them before or since and I thought they could be rare. Any ideas?

Yup. 77-85 88-98, 77-90 Custom Cruiser. Good score, but a very limited market.

I LIKE having gages to monitor my machinery, but that's me. Even idiot lights don't always catch an ignant driver's attention.

One thing I've noticed on these factory gages. The oil pressure gage works best with a GM sender. Had a set on an 81 Safari wagon, and even using a Standard Motor Parts sender that oil gage would flutter. Buddy's 80 TransAM acted the same way with aftermarket senders. GM parts, the flutter went away.

You didn't by chance get the jumper harness that goes with them, didja?

I honestly don't remember. I'll have to go back upstairs tomorrow and look in the box it's been sitting in. Knowing me, I didn't grab it, unfortunately.

The other thing you need is the piece that goes below the steering column, which is unique to the gauge pack. The one on the non-gauge dash doesn't work as it is at a different angle.

Well that stinks. I'd just like to get a few bucks and get this back in circulation.
