Question High Tech Gauges for my 69'

I'm looking for some one who has tried this application on an F-body. I'v got the new wiring harness for the LT-1 from Street and Performance. It's got all the wires for sending a signal to a speedo, tach, and oil pressure gauge. I will need to figure out a water temp sensor and gauge my self. You see I've got the capability to get alot of my info to my dash with the computer's help but I'm not sure what to use for a new set of gauges. I do know I want them to be analog, not digital. I just like the looks of a needle in a 69' Camaro dash than a set of green numbers staring at me. Brings back bad memories of my highschool math calculator!

I already tried Auto-meter's web-site for Tech help. It took the jerk a week to write me back. He said to go to their web-site for help............... I thought that was what I just did?! He must have been a Tupper-ware salesman a week ago. I'm sorry, sales-men just **** me off when they don't know their product.

Well there it is. If any of you got advice on any product brand (including Auto-meter I guess) please feel free to let me know.
I greatly apprieciate it, as always.

Check Detroit Speed and Engineering Detroit Speed . They have a custom 69 dash insert for modern gauges.

Classic Industries and Eckler's also carry the Autometer insert for 67-69 Camaros. I think both carry it with or without guages.
