So where do I find a new or used wiring kit? Is my ebay or junk yards my only options?

Is it a bad idea to go with a universal wiring kit?

I am thinking of installing a digital screen gauge cluster similar to this one which will require me to modify the original wiring for the gauges: https://www.autometer.com/invision-lcd-dash-universal-panel-mount.html.
