Sensor compatibility

I hope I'm not going over old ground - but I checked previous posts and couldn't find a direct answer to this:

I'd like to retain the use of my factory temp gauge (Std 73 A Body Gauge in the Gauge cluster)

Is it possible to fit an adapter to the sender boss in the 6.1 to run the old factory sender?

Or/

Will the old factory gauge run effectively off the 6.1 sender?

Cheers again for your replies.

A Bodies Only is making this project actually work for me at least..........:prayer:
