you need to change or modify your fuel sender, use a duraspark dizzy and a msd box, my gauges all work except the tach.. i could make it work if i wanted though no offense to anyone but don't waiste money on a preformer intake buy a preformer rpm it is much better i have done this swap many times you will be very happy
