Go with mechanical gauges. That is all I use. Get domestic gauges such as Autometer super comp or silver, we put chicom made gauges in our race car and have problems with them. I can dive some instruction how and what to get.

If they are mechanical the water gets a probe in the block and the oil gets a feed off an oil passage. If they're electrical then you just plug in the wire. Of course the volt meter is electrical.
