As title said, I need to hook up my oil temp gauge after about 2 years on stands. I can't find the wire that goes to the taco plate temp sensor. It may have broken off the harness. I re-covered the portion of the harness from the exit of the firewall upward. Did I maybe cover up the temp wire, or does it come from somewhere else?
Thanks, JoeO |

The oil temp gauge wire goes from the taco plate to the relay board via the engine harness. From there the trace crosses the relay board to the connector to the cabin harness. The end of the wire should be somewhere under the carpet under the console by the shifter.

I guess 2 wrongs make a right. I hooked up the oil sender on my 71 using the wire I found under the carpet by the shifter. This wire went to the wire harness connected to the relay board. The trace went across the relay board to an unpopulated pin on the engine harness. I added the pin and ran down to the oil temp sender. What is the right way to run this wire? |

What is the right way to run this wire? yes, i would think so. i like to use "unused" wires whenever i can. sure beats running a new wire through the center tunnel ... however, my point was that that is not the factory wire for the oil-temp gauge/sender ...
