Are you talking about aftermarket gauges ?

[chargerman68]

yes

Nothing special about wiring them up.  You need a powere supply for them, the dark blue wire at the ignition switch would be my choice.
Then just run a wire from the gauges to the sending units.  Check the directions to see if you can use the factory sending units.

There may also be a wire to the sending units for illumination.  That should be an orange wire going to the cluster.

Seperate wiring...I would not tie anything into 38+ year old wires....
