Anyone experience with electric gauges?

I was wondering whether someone know what would be needed to make these work. They seem to match stock FC gauges very closely. I'm not sure which imputs they need, and what the easiest way of hooking them up is.

It seems like a very vauge question. If you are referring to the use of electric gauges to run off the factory senders, then I do not have any info on this.

I use autometer electric gauges for temperature but would never use electric gauges for Oil pressure, boost etc. I just don't trust electric senders for that kind of use.

My autometer gauges came with the appropriate senders for that gauge. Just put the senders in a suitable location.

Yeah, I'm asking wether I will need some kind of control unit box like the modern systems seem to have.

Thanks,

Riz.

It depends... there's ones like the Defi gauges where the senders all feed data into a brain box and the gauges all feed off a central bus, and there's ones where each gauge just hooks directly to its own sender.
