Today's problem is..

Hi everyone, I luckily have gotten all my gauge issues in my car worked out except for one. The new (to me) gauge cluster I bought has an oil temp gauge because its from an 82. I would like to hook this up as I think its a really nice gauge to have since I look at the one in my C5 all the time. There are three connections on the back of the oil temp gauge, anyone happen to know which one is power/ground/signal?

Thanks,
--Chris

Dark Green w/ White stripe = signal
Black = ground
Black w/Pink stripe = power

Ok thanks, I got that part figured out, and what I thought would be easy, isnt....I was looking around for the oil temp sending unit, yet no one has them local. The local parts store lists the water temp sending unit as the correct sending unit for the oil temp as well. Is this true?

Thanks for any info,

I just purchased one a few months ago from either Advance or Autozone. I can't remember which but you can still order one. If I remember correctly, they had an error in their computer system but you can return it if it's the incorrect item. I also purchased an AC Delco sending unit a few years ago. Visually they look the same and I believe they are actually made by the same company. I think the price is around $24.00.
