I guess the question is a little hard to understand. Are you asking which wires go where?

Since my car(a 72) is apart, I just went out to look for ya.

NO luck, mine has a connector(plug in type)

plugs in to
and does any of them
have a isolator washer on them

TPI,
Take a look at the gage cluster in this ebay auction:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Corve...QQcmdZViewItem
It is a good example of what an original gage set up should look like. You can also enlarge the pics to show the insulators that go between the screw terminals and the gages. If your insulators are shot, use some small rubber washers instead. Hope this helps.
