I got a oil temp taco plate set up out of a JY car. Wire, sender, cover, plate, clips etc...
I am ready to change my oil and put this thing on. It was probably last summer that I carefully removed it from a 73. I can't remember the path of the wire. There is a connector on my car's harness that is at the battery. I believe that is the connection. And a bunch in the tunnel, maybe one behind the dash. I will check all those. But from the taco plate to the 1st connector is only semi-obvious. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Pictures would be great, if anyone has them. Hind sight.... take pictures at the JY. Thanks, Clark |

It comes out of the plate, goes across the front of the engine near the motor mounts (hint: be careful not to squash the wire flat, you get a full-hot reading all the time!) to a stand-off on one of the oil cooler bracket bolts. Then through the engine tin to the connector under the battery that you found.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Clark There are two wire standoffs for the taco plate wire. The other one bolts to one of the oil filter flange studs. You can see it in a picture in McMar k s thread. |
