Could someone explain the exact path of the wire from the engine to the oil temp gauge.
A complete stock 74 2.0 with center counsel.
Thanks all

Its a single green/black stripe wire. For a 74 it runs between the sender and the box connector under the battery tray coming out of the chassis harness. The wire in the chassis harness goes to the oil temp gauge connection in the center console.

The wire is attached to the motor at three points by sheet metal brackets which are crimped onto the wire.
1. The first connector is attached to the sender cover plate. From here the wire routes above the motor mounts.
2. The second connector attaches to the lower mount bolt for the oil filter console.
3. The third connector attaches to the lower oil cooler to fan housing bolt.
