please help im fallin off boards

Exaxtly which guages did you get? Are they all electric? The guages come with a hookup diagram. Each gauge needs 12v which is present only when the ignition is on, You can find this on the pink wire (assuming an auto trans floor shift non guage harness, since you didn't tell us different.) Each guage needs a good ground. Each guage needs a wire to the sending unit. The stock water temp idiont light wire is green. The oil light wire is brown. You can use them, but they don't go to the console (on a non guage car)

jim it is a floor shift non guage car so can you tell me what wires i can use in the factory harness w/o havin to run all new ones to the senders there auto meter ultralite and are all electric thanks for the help

plus by conole i meant dash all the guages are goin in the dash(covans classics) what wires do i use in the dash harness has 9 wires in it thanks so much

alot of lookin but no replies lol :(

jim where are you lol

i'm here.... newbie... just kidding... Once apon a time, a few months ago, I had all this embeded in my brain... did all the same stuff, but with the guages in the console and a shiny new oer tic toc tach... spent most of the past 12 hours on a 30 foot bucket lift trimming up and acre of pines, and the brain is kinda faded... not gonna be no help to you today...

temp wire is dark green.
oil wire is brown
dash lighting is white
the is a hot wire, it used to go to the fuel gauge.
fuel sender is yellow.
There is no tach wire, you'll hafta run one.
There is no ground wire, you'll hafta run one.

over the past two or 3 weeks, some wonderful soul with too much time on his hands posted some fabulous full color wiring diagrams in electrical. Search for "wiring diagram", if you don't find it, search for ".pdf" they were acrobat files.

Those wiring diagrams are pdf files. Go to http://www.adobe.com and download and install the "free acrobat reader" Then you'll be able to open the diagrams.

on second thought, I can't get them today, either... says "image not available" I did save them to my laptop last week, I'll try to get them on my website soon.

thank god u couldnt get it either was starting to think i was really stupid i know i have VERY LITTLE mechanical skills but i consider myself just a step above a moron lol

ok, i do have the pdf color wiring diagrams on my laptop/ I wish to heck I could remember who I got them from, I really don't know if I should put em out without asking. I'll try to get em on my website tonight, needa figure out how to password protect the page, then post the password here. He did say they would be available to tc members... gimme a couple hours, need grocerys!
