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 |

Here is the schematic from my 70-72 Shop Manual by Carbooks. The Haynes manual also has this same schematic page. My 71 was wired like this diagram. It shows item 42 to be "Oil Temperature Indicator (optional)". It is wired to the relay panel on pin 3. Pin 3 on my 71's engine harness was empty so I added the wire to the sender here.
Pin 3 from the engine harness runs over the relay board to pin 6 to the cabin harness. The schematic shows this wire terminating beside the combinational gauge. In my car, this wire was under the carpet beside the shifter. Don't know if the factory did this or dealer option but schematic and car agreed. This made it very easy to connect the oil temp sender.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) looks like the optional install used a wire going to the relay board. i'll have to check on that. i know my '70 did not have an extra wire on the relay board for a temp gauge ...
