seemingly endless issues with my 914  Group: Members Posts: 218 Joined: 13-February 07 From: Chicagoland Member No.: 7,532 Region Association: None  |
I have a '73 that was originally a 1.7 but now has a carbureted 2.0. The EFI harness is gone and so is the head temp sensor. I have a head temp gauge and would like to install a new sensor. This car does not have the center console or harness in the tunnel. I would like to mount the gague on a gauge holder under the dash above the tunnel. The question is, how do I wire this thing up? I have the same situation with the Oil Temp Sensor if anyone could help with that as well.

What I ended up doing is running the wires up the left-side air tube. I used a fishtape and bundled around 8 wires together inside some expandable sleeving and then fished it from the front to the back and then ran the front wiring thru the grommet where the washer hose used to go thru the front firewall and then ran the rear wires up thru where the rain tube used to go. the head temp sensor, if it's a VDO, the RED goes to NEGATIVE the BLACK goes to POSITIVE. It makes no sense, but the manual that comes with it IS CORRECT. I'll post pics if you really really want them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
