Good news, I now recall Oliver Knuphf(?) saying it is no big deal installing the 944 gauges. The stock 914 vdo sender worked well with the temp gauge, at approx. 200F the gauge read just over the quarter warm mark, so it should work alright. The fuel sender from my 1302 worked just fine with 944's fuel gauge.

I checked for continuity and pins 12 and 7 are electrically the same so you will only need to hook up +12 to one of them and you use the other lead as a hot for another gauge.

One more thing...the tach from the '84 that I'm using is wired up as follows pin 4 GND
pin 5 +12
pin 6 coil -

Pin's 1-3 and H+, Hg not used

There you go, I tested it on my 914 and it works properly

glad I checked back on this one- I still haven't mounted mine! I did find the correct connector (the round one) and all the light bulbs in the junk yard.
What was the oil temp sender you used?

I used a stock type IV used in 914's. It's vdo so i think any vdo one will work.
