Correct. Not an expert but recently did a little "learning" while thinking about replacements for my gauges. There are basically two types of thermocouple wires/systems. Type K and Type E. The systems are not interchangeable. Since I put in a "K system", everything was replaced from exhaust to panel.
I took the easy way out and just replaced it all. Stuff for the K wire seemed easier to get.
Note that thermocouple wire is a specialized type of metal wire alloy and not your typical stranded variety. The probes have to be compatible with the wire/system you use.
Long term plan is replace everything with modern engine monitoring system
