I have an original oil pressure/temp/fuel gauge all in one cluster that I want to put in my 1970 skylark customer to remove the fuel gauge with idiot lights. I have no idea which lead/post goes where. does any one out there have a wiring diagram or can assist me on how to wire this gauge up? I have an extra "plug harness" that fits but just need to know what post on the back of the gauge goes where. I have labeled the posts 1,2,3, etc in the attached picture if this helps for a quick description. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks

Hopefully I am dead wrong, but you may also need to replace switches or sensors. With idiot lights they are either on or off, gages measure which may mean you need to make a modifcation under the hood too. If ya get it all hooked up and it does not function right, keep this in mind.

Thanks I appreciate the input. I was sent the proper (I was told) oil pressure sensor and temp sensor along with this gauge. I think I have every thing I need to get rolling except the wiring diagram. I guess I may be asking a lot for someone to get out a book and tell me how to wire it but I don't even know where to turn to order/buy a wiring diagram for this.... thanks again to any one with any input.

There is typically a wiring diagram in the shop manual, although I can't be certain for the year. EBay or Ken McGee Auto Literature would be good places to look.

Good luck.
