Catalina Direct has a nice oil pressure gauge which matches the fuel gauge I installed last season, but the sender is metric thread.
Will any sender work?(Maybe)

You answered your own question. The sender and gauge must be matched (ie from the same manufacturer)for accurate readings.
That having been said some sending units and gauges are interchangeable because they have the same parameters. If you know the manufacturer of the sending unit and gauge you might be able to cross reference.
