I've used the Apco unit that clips around the steering column. Works well and modern gauges will fit in it. If you are still 6 volt you have to use the nonelectical feed units so the temp is fine but the rest all need electrical sending units. The oil gauge would work but as was stated you don't see any reading because of the lack of pressure. I run a tack on mine for the second gauge, but a volt meter would probably be a wise choice too.
