Digital display units (ultra gauge)
Okay, so this will be a hard one for you all.
The ultra gauge runs off a OBD port. However my cars pre 1996 and does not run a OBD port. However I want something that will allow to to display multiple readings for things like oil temp, water temp, intake temp, and so on. Trouble is I don't want lots of gauges, want to try retain the standard dash setup.
How else can I do this without the OBD meter onto something like a ultra gauge / scan gauge

You'd need to be fitting multiple sensors to the engine to allow any dash to display the info.
Most race type dash units can be used in that manner. PLX Devices offer some gauges that will do the same too, although each sensor requries it's own control box...which is a bit messy but their display units are nice.

I used the Tft toucan, it is excellent but that takes info from my vipec ecu which is aftermarket.
