I need some help , converting to rallye gauges in a 71 Cuda

[Brads70]

Hi All! Helping my buddy Mike install his  rallye gauges in his 71 Cuda and have a few questions. He had standard gauges. He has an original rallye harness and all the gauges. He has on the way from Roseville the electronic voltage limiter for the gauges.
We tried installing it and none of the gauges work. So we are assuming it's the voltage limiter ?
Will the stock oil pressure and coolant temp  sending units work or does rallye use different ones?
Hooking up the tack, he has a electronic MSD ignition box. What do I do, what goes where? Will he need this?

We will bolt the ammeter wires together, tape etc...  and bypass the gauge.
Any other tips I missed?   
Thanks in advance for the help guys!

The temp & fuel ,will be the same sender , if the std gauges had a oil pressure light you will need a different sender , you can teast with 5v or briefly with a 9 v battery to power the gauges .
There is a tack connection on the MSD box , this may work but usually not , MSD sells an adapter to change the signal to one the tach can read

   I sent Mike a link so he can read the replies. He really should join up but he is not really into computers much. 

Oh and electrical is SO NOT my strong suit so I need "electrical for dummies" kind of help!

Thanks Neil! 

Anyone know/have part numbers for the oil pressure sender?

Really? How soon?

[Chryco Psycho]

this is what he probably has https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mopar-Oil-Pressure-Sender-Switch-440-340-318-OEM-Plymouth-Dodge-Dart-Charger/222981647948?hash=item33eabdee4c:g:O-gAAOSwnF9Y6CeB
it is just a switch to turn the light on

This is correct for the gauge https://www.ebay.com/itm/1968-1974-Dodge-Chrysler-Plymouth-Oil-Pressure-GAUGE-Sending-Unit-MoPar-New/360655989521?hash=item53f8c5ab11:g:C-cAAOSwd4tT64cd

   Forgot to mention it's a Hemi if that factors into anything?

The tach will not work with the MSD without an adapter. The mopar tach is a current type. The adapter is an 8920.
Or replace the guts of the tach. RTE sells an updated guts kit.

Great info Thanks! It's the newer MSD box if that matters for the  MSD 8920?

I'd initially confirm the tach works before springing for the tach adapter...You could still hook up the tach to the MSD and the reading will be off..But you'll know what you've got and the direction you're going from there..

Triple the price for the parts needed !!

I would check all the grounding points for the instrument cluster.

make sure the tach actually works before spending $$ on the adapter.
