    I'm not sure about this, but I think it will be dependent on the ohms of your present sender and the ohms required for the digital gauge. It would be best to consult the manufacturer of the gauge.

    most digital gauges have DIP switches that allow you to change the ohms to match the sender.

    As 41, suggested, I know the Dakota Digital will work with most any common sender. I've installed them with both GM and Ford senders with no problem.... Can't say about the others, just check with the manufacturer..
