wires by shifter. installing center console. which wires are for what? Options

[x98boardwell]

Hello,

Before I start with my question, Happy Thansksgiving!

I have included a picture below of the wires in question. I am in the process of adding a center console and I would like to find out which wires are for what and where they can be found in the engine compartment (are they behind the firewall mat??) so that I can connect accordingly?

Also, I have a temp combo gage in my car already in the dash so I plan on putting volt gage, oil pressure gage, and then not sure... any recommendations? I have no interest in adding a clock.

Thanks for the help,
Bryan

Brown wires == ground. Always. (Unless some knucklehead has been re-wiring stuff.) Hook up to brown wires in center console harness.
Grey wires == gauge illumination. They hook up to black/blue wires in the center console harness.
Green/black wire == oil temp sender wire. Goes to right-front corner of engine bay, connects to wire across front of engine to "taco plate". Hooks to green/black wire in center console harness.
Red/white wire == switched power. Goes to somewhere up in the dash, probably to the fuse panel. Connects to red/white wire in center console harness.
Black wire == unswitched power. Don't remember where it comes from; possibly fuse panel. Connects to black wire in center console harness.


If you already have the oil temp gauge in your combo gauge, then the green/black wire is probably already being used. You may have to run new wires for your new gauges.
