Default Oil temp sensor wire

Between 80-82 there was an option for an oil temp gauge. I lost the wire during the removal of the old engine. Anyone tell me where it comes out of the fire wall or what color it is?

I had two 81's with the oil temp gauge made far more sense than a silly clock,
You would think I would recall the wire color I do not but here is possible help,

The wiring diagram that I have shows a green wire with a white stripe for the oil temperature sensor. I haven't been under it in a while to confirm this.
