There are electrical differences and some other mechanical quirks to the pre-'67 Canadian cars. Fuel and temp gauge both not working usually means the instrument cluster voltage regulator is faulty. It's built into the gauge on this car, though a separate (and upgraded electronic) external unit can be retrofitted without much difficulty. Of course, the voltage limiter could be fine and the gauges themselves or their senders or wiring could be faulty.
