Hi,
Yes, as long as you use the sending unit from the 4 cylinder (or a replacement designed for the 4 cylinder). I did this when I set up the original 6 volt gauges in my '55 to work with my 12 volt V6. You may need to use a brass pipe thread adaptor (NPT) to get it to fit the block. You can get one at a hardware store.

It should, the gauge has either a mech. are a elec. sending unit and the only thing that matters to it is what the temp of the liquid they are in, because of the age of the gauge I would see if it is calibrated. New ones are relitively cheap.
