Are wire connections by the shifter live?, Adding oil temp and volt gauges Options

[Yoei66]

Howdy!
I was getting the light inside the floor mounted defrost lever indicator working last evening,
when I pulled the carpet back. I discovered several electrical connection, which I ASSume are for center console gauges. I have purchased used 914 volt, and oil temp gauges. Will these plugs assist me in hookup? Are these for gauges? Is there a color code somewhere?

Danke, Ahhndy. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

For the most part, only the 2.0 engines came with the oil temp senders in the bottom of the sump. The 73+ cars with center consoles also had them. And there were some 72s that had a temp gauge as an option, so they must have had senders as well.

I would consider the option that RS posted--however, I would see if I could somehow tuck the sender up higher and possibly cover it from having cold air flow over it. Probably mucks with the reading--and may expose it to a little more hazard, though certainly not as much as the Tuna Can is exposed. And I do advocate the latter...
