So, if I want real (aftermarket) gauges, what are my connection choices?
I really want to have real gauges on the 64, at least oil pressure and temp so I think I could tolerate aftermarket gauges if they looked period on our restored GTO. I also don't want to disconnect the factory warning lights if I can help it. I figure I can use some kind of a T or Y connector for the oil pressure but what can I do about temp? Is there anywhere else I can install a sensor other than the outlet on the front of the intake manifold?

One word: Speedhut.
Excellent made in USA quality, very good price and can customise to suit. Shoot them (or me) a pic and can match the style/font of your OEM speedo, etc. http://www.speedhut.com/ |

For oil pressure there is always the plug by the distributor. And if you have the tri power intake you can use the connection flange intended for the vacuum/temp relay. Just get a blank off plate and thread it for the pipe thread your temp sensor has. I know the plate looks a little thin but it works for me..

Another option is to put '65 Rally gauges in. These are restored originals, but the metal faced repros are also nice. The 65 Rally gauge adapter harness gets you all the parts you need to modify your existing harness.

I recently acquired a64 tripower 4 speed convertible, no gauges, were they not available in 64? Options for factory correct gauges? The 65s work, is that correct?

Also, the 64 fuel sender will not work correctly with the 65 gauge. 64 sender is 30 ohm, 65 is 90 ohm. Swap the sender or swap the gauge.
