Welcome
For wiring up the oil temp gauge you will need to have an oil temp sensor obviously but in terms of console wiring, I think the wires used to illuminate the heater controls are also used to illuminate the guages, but there might have to be another cable coming from the clocks to power them, not too sure. This might help...
