Is wiring for the center console gauges already in place like the fog lights?
Are the targa tops the same for all years eg. will the top for a 76 fit on a 73? |

The consoles that I've seen have clock, oil temp, and volt meter. Not sure if 73 and later have the oil temp because they have built in oil temp guage in with fuel guage like my 74.
For the 3 gauges mentioned, the only difficult wire is the wire going to the oil temp sender which is on the taco plate on the bottom of the engine. On my 71, I was pleasantly surprised to find this wire under the carpet and was able to trace it to the relay board. The wire went across the relay board to the connector to the engine but had no pin on the engine harness nor wire to the taco plate. I had an extra engine harness so I took one wire and connector off and added onto my existing harness and routed the wire under the engine to the taco plate. As for the other wires for the console gauges, here's the wires needed: Ground: used for all guages can come from any ground point under the dash. Full time +12V for clock: can be routed from the fuse panel under the dash. Choose unswitched +12V which is on the fuse side, not supply side. Switched +12V for voltmeter and oil temp guage: can be routed from fuse panel. Choose switched +12V which is on the fuse side again. Power for lights: I found this under the dash too but not sure where. Spoke |
