Help needed with '64 C gauge wiring

#1 Post by Jack Roberta »

For some reason my 3 schematics dont have the wire colors I have!!? I'm having a problem with the oil pressure|temp/fuel gauge. Since I got the car in boxes I dont know what wires go where.
I've 3 indicator light connectors - (1 with 2 blu/yel & 1 blu); (1 with 2 blu/yel & 1 grn); (1 with 2 blu/yel & 1 blk)

Also there is 3 bullet connectors 1 with a grn/blk wire; 1 with a grn wire; 1 with a brn chained to another brn.

Also what is the indicator light layout on this gauge?

Thanks
Jack

Don't know if this will help Jack, but this is the back of my gauge before I sent them to be restored.

I think in the far left gauge the lights are from left, red generator, green oil pressure, green blank (no light), red emergency brake.

Jack:

Do you have Joe Leoni's books? They're best of kind. If you do and someone has changed the actual wires the schematics from Joe won't help as far as color is concerned, but, by checking which color lands on which fuse or connector, you should be able to trace them. If you don't have his books, buy them. http://www.356electrics.com. If you just HAVE to do this today, send me a PM or email and your phone number and IF - that's a big IF I get a little time I'll pull my book out and describe stuff as best I can. I have a 64 Coupe with original stock wiring so maybe I can help.

You would be MUCH MUCH better off with anything Joe tells you
