I have a '72 FJ40 in which the previous owner installed a Chevy 350 engine. I am completely rewiring with the Kwik Wire wiring harness and am realizing that the dash gauge cluster is electric and the Chevy 350 currently has a mechanical gauge. Is this as easy as replacing the mechanical gauge with an electric gauge and then connecting to the dash cluster or is there another step that I am missing?

Did the '72 FJ40 come with electric oil pressure gauge?
