1971 with a 2.0L
Before I pull the current taco plate and factory sensor to replace with 914Werke's billet cover and VDO sender.... Couple questions / issues Looks like the wire is crimped in to prevent rubbing...is there any advice here so I don't break the wire? My car doesn't have the leads next to the gear shift for the optional center console...so I need to tap into the existing wire, or do I run my own from new sensor to the gauge? I know this has probably been covered, but can't seem to find anything using the search engine... Thanks all! |

UPDATE: I do see a Black with Green wire in the loom of wires through the tunnel...but don't see any connectors anywhere in the run from the firewall to where it goes up and disappears into the dash.
Could that be it? Should I expect to find an open spade lead behind the left gauge? |
