74 rr oil pressure and temperature gauge wiring
 

Does any1 know how to hook up the wires for the oil pressure gauge and temperature gauge for my 74 roadrunner? I'm about scared to start it until I know that I have oil pressure. We dont have any idea what colors the wires are or where they are and where they go. We got it fired up for the first time about 2 weeks ago. Thanks

I thought I gave you a link for this long ago. Oh well, here it is again for the schematics. http://www.mymopar.com/downloads/197...oadRunnerA.JPG http://www.mymopar.com/downloads/197...oadRunnerB.JPG

Oil pressure? dont worry about it, just do what i did. Install motor in 66 charger after forgetting to install oil plug on the back of the belhousing. Try prelubing motor with drill rotating the wrong direction,{383 turn counterclockwise}. Realize what an idiot you are and borrow a drill that reverses direction. Proceed to prelube motor while watching a nice large steady stream of oil hose down the garage wall. {high volume pump}. Install missing plug. Have bud come over and say "well, at least you know you got good oil pressure." {thanks}

thanks man, I figured you would but I never saw it and I still dont?


lmao!

well....I already have those diagrams but I cant figure out what colors the wires are and where they are located

Be careful, there are sending units for gauges and different ones for idiot lights. They will NOT interchange. Be safe, spend the $20 bucks on a mechanical oil pressure guage.

I'm sorry, I didnt realize that it doesnt cover wiring after the instrument plug-in. I'd go out in the garage and look at mine, but the previous owner had already taken an axe and rusty scissors to the wiring for custom gauges.
