OK here's what you'll need to make a late-model dash work in your MA61.
Speedo: you need an electronic signal from the gearbox output shaft. GT is correct, you can use a sensor from a late-model W58 which is interchangeable with the speedo cable drive. I recently did the reverse with my W58, ie replaced the sensor with a cable.
Tacho: this works off a digital signal from the ECU, so if you're using a conventional single-coil ignition setup you'll have to find a way to convert the coil output into a suitable digital signal. Grant from SixWorks may be able to help you here; he sold me a "magic box" which made the MA61 tacho work with the 2JZ's electronic output, so he probably has another magic box which does the opposite.
Temp gauge: you'll need to wire this up to a Toyota temp sensor which must be located somewhere near the thermostat. You can use a sensor from practically any Toyota; they all have the same output voltage range.
Fuel gauge: you should be right with this one; to my knowledge all Toyota fuel level sensors work the same, so just wire it up and hope for the best.
For any other gauges which may exist on your instrument cluster (eg oil pressure), you will need a corresponding sensor hooked up to your engine. Warning lights and indicator lamps etc should be a no-brainer provided you have a wiring diagram for the car and the instrument cluster.
