Yes it can be wired to any Cavalier, as long as you put in the necessary wires.

You will need
1) an Oil Pressure sender (not just a switch), from a Calibra, Frontera etc

2) Wire from 2nd terminal of the sender to the oil gauge

3) Ignition live for battery gauge (black)

4) Ground wire (brown)

5) Illumnation wire (grey/green or grey/black).

Do not wire this up wrong, as the oil gauge will be blown of the scale and damaged beyond repair.

I'm sure there is a How 2 for this.

Hope that helps ;)
