Get a solid ground set up first. That may fix your problems, and even if it doesn't it will prevent future ones. That's just a common fix that needs to be done with these old cars.
Go to the junk yard and pick up a cluster for your car. An entire cluster will be about $30. That will give you spares of everything. The cluster consists of three sections. Take out all the screws on the back and the three pieces will lift right out. To replace your temp gauge, just pop off the needles of each of the gauges in that section (use two spoons with a bit of paper to keep from scratching the gauge face). Make notes about the needle positions so you can get them back on properly. Remove the gauge face plate. Then each gauge is attached with a couple of screws from the back.
If you need to remove the clock, the ground is soldered so that will need to be heated to get the clock out. If you need to replace the tach, you'll need to splice the wires.
Everything is pretty much self-evident as you get into it.
