Your question makes no sense.
If you're replacing the stock gauges, the new Autometer sending units will need to replace the Mazda sending units ( water temp and oil pressure).
You'll need to find the Autometer fuel gauge that matches (or at least, comes close to) the ohms of the stock fuel level sender.
The tach gets it's signal from the coil.

You didn't mention the speedo...the 7 uses a mechanical cable, so good luck with that.

dont need a speedo mate i get the speedo read out on a piece of paper at the end.......lol its a drift/drag car

yeah got the gm sender 0-90 ohms i think it is
they can use the signal wire from the standard senders though i was reading on the net but wasnt sure if i should or just replace the senders.
