i am thinking tomorrow i am going to pull the cluster...again :cwm10: and see if i am getting power threw the wire for the factory temp, and oil pressure guage. when doing this should i just ground out both units( i know i have to do this for my temp) i tried this but got nothing. and i will also check the whole wire routing, anything else i should look for.

Back on topic, Grounding the sender wires will make the gauge go full sweep if everything is working properly. If not, there is a issue somewhere in the wiring/gauge. Don't forget to check the bulkhead connector at the firewall, which is where the sender wires from under the dash connect to the engine harness which goes to the senders. Some corrosion/junk could be in there. Careful dealing with them, that is old wiring that you will be around and tugging on and such.

i dont like the idea of putting a mechanical guage for my oil, into my car(where the oil runs into the 'cab') i have one of these guages that came with the car, how do i hook it up, same with the temp guage, it was also under the dash along with the amp/oil (mechanical one)

Are you now asking how to hook up mechanical oil and temp gauges? Almost sounds like it, but you did say you dont like the idea of running a oil line inside the car... :salut:
