Just put a set of these in for a customer. Seem like pretty fair quality for the cheap price. I've seen a whole lot worse.

Got them in today though the center console isnt in maybe tonight though wed. most likely ..guages hooked up easy enough the oil sender fit
the volt guage fit for the water the water temp I bought some
raditor puty stuff its a 2 part clay that you knead together made by
J_B weld the water temp sensor fit perfectly in the thermo time switch
hole with the lip of the sensor fitting tight so it was an easy fix.

I started up my car tocheck for leaks there were I forgot to scrape off
the rear coolant flange on the head so i did that and applied more
hylomar I use a different coolant flange with a fresh gasket last time I used some form a gasketwith hylomar you can remove the part and put it back on its a non harding gasket sealer.. so on restart oil jumps up
to 41 pounds and stays there from at idle adn when I rev it up its gone up to 60 so Im getting good pressure.. volts read at 14
after a few minutes the water temp went up to 160 degrees and stayed..

Mine is very low at idle too when warmed up. The manual says that the OP light coming on is normal after hard driving. . .
