Dave,
  I will assume you are interested in an oil gauge for the 71. I was able to 
locate a Smiths gauge (black with white numbers) and mounted it in a blank 
plate where a radio would go (VB part) next to an aviation clock.
The black plastic oil line was a TR6 part from TRF. It is attached to the 
block through a T fitting that goes to the external oil line to the head 
(also TRF). There is a plug in the block you can use if you do not have the 
head oiler. I had trouble getting the correct plug out so it was easier to 
go into the "T". 
  The blank radio plate looks really good with the two instruments added 
with room left over for a driving lights switch, etc.  I couldn't talk  
myself into drill a hole in a good dash. I did see a GT once that placed a 
gauge in place of one of the air vents on the dash. 
 If you are interested in a matching gauge I bought mine from a place in 
Boca Raton Fl. I don't have the number handy but I know the guy (Dean 
Houston) had an assortment of gauges.
