I am removing the console from my 1974. The car currently has a multi-gauge with just the fuel gauge (because the temp gauge was in the console). I think this is the correct replacement multi-gauge which incorporates the temp gauge:
 Should there be existing wiring behind the dash for the temp gauge? Or do I have to run a wire myself? What is the orange/yellow indicator for? I think the bulb holder behind it is just for gauge illumination. thanks! Carl |

Carl The multi-gauge for your 74 should have the wide red band type of OT gauge - not the narrow band as shown in your pic. You can see good illustrations of which equipment went on which MYs & paint colors on actual cars, etc. at p914.com (& .net & .org). Jeff covered the wire, & he may also have the proper wire with connectors through his 914 harness business - so PM him for that, or suggestions on where to find &/or what parts to get where to build one yourself. Save your center console if it was original to your 914, since it adds value to have all of the proper OE equipment intact &/or on-hand stored.
