I've had my gages out for a while. Just putting my interior back in the LE. Went to do the gages & while there are only so many options. There are a few different combinations. Meaning I would probably get them wrong. Figured to see if anyone had a diagram for them

I think there are diagrams on the bird board. I think...

I was hoping for a nice picture of the backside hooked up . Using that wiring diagram will take brain power . Everyone should know by now I am in short supply

Yes Jeff that is perfect! Thanks

I pulled the gage partially out on my 73. Only problem is the combo gage is different. So I did need this for that one.

My gauges have some wiring quirks that I'm hoping to address soon. This thread will be a great help.

Two quick questions:

1. I know of at least one wire back there that shorted out and melted its sheath... What gauge wire do I need to replace it?

2. Is it necessary to remove the dash bottom to access the various electrical hookups on the headlight switch?

The extent of my electrical experience has been replacing fixtures and outlets in my house. Appreciate any additional tips for the clueless.

1. Most wires are 18g, but some are larger.
2. The headlight switch has a lot of connections. If you drop the relay panel (two screws), unscrew the knob and then unscrew the escutcheon (the small aluminum ring) which holds the switch onto the dash, you can then pull the switch down enough to see what is what.

Different gauges, different wiring

I found some pictures of the gauges that show the connections pretty clearly. The lights are not plugged in (blue/black wire), so the empty sockets are the dash lights.

Good Luck.
