Welcome to the forum and the Darkside. Each gauge has a seperate sender and wire. If you can't find a blown fuse, check the wiring. In my sig line is a link to the FSMs, carb manual, etc..

+1 on the fuse. One time I got into my car, I accidentally hit the fuse panel with my foot and knocked a fuse out. This made my tachometer and a couple other gauges to quit working. Plugged the fuse back in and everything went fine.

check behind the gauge cluster. on the oil pressure/vlot meter side there is a three pin connector that plugs into the back of teh cluster. if unplugged you will get those symptoms. you will also get a really lazy tachometer. i just went through the same thing. i replaced my choke cable and after i did my gauges didnt work. the witch hunt began and the resuylt was an unplugged connector at the back of the cluster.
