Those zip-on "threaded" pins are used throughout the Chevy world in other places, can't remember where but the right angle mate is available I'm sure. (maybe I see them on relays or alternators or horns???)

No. 8 stud is .164 diameter.
In my American Auto Wire kit I had special connectors for the back of the gauges, O/E style, but I don't see them offered at AAW in their accessories list.
