If you want to drive the tach off the oil pump you need to see which block style you have. Early style blocks did not support that type of drive. So... Look below the oil filter. If you see a plug that has thread and a hex head, you're SOL. If the engine has a round welch plug like a frost plug, then you can pop that out, change the oil pump shaft to the newer style, add the angle drive and install the cable for the tach. If you do that you need the newer style cluster for a 4600 that turns the tach CCW. The old one is a CW rotation. You also may or may not need to change the temperature and fuel senders depending on what cluster you get. I've had one that required changing senders and one that didn't...
The other alternative is to buy a Delco 10si alt with tach drive from A&I. This site sells A&I stuff and the price, IIRC, was about 350 bucks. I prefer to update the tach to engine drive and use a basic NAPA reman Delco with lifetime warranty.... but if you have the old block style with the threaded plug... you have no choice.
Definitely use some form of OEM gauge as I find them to be quite accurate and reliable relative to a lot fo other stuff out there. Mechanical gauges are not really on option for temp anyhow unless you go drilling an entirely new hole somewhere else for the sender... There isn't room for the bulb in the front of the head.
