Default 73 Temp sender wiring

im working on my 73 small block and someone has evidently clipped the wire for the temerature sender off somewhere and i dont know where to look for it.
Can someone tell me where the wire exits a harness, which harness and what color it should be?

Thanks,

Charlie

Hi Charley,
Also, the end of the wire that you find still in the harness may still have the woven, insulating, cover (like a sheath) on it that the wire had originally. So be on the look-out for that too.
Regards,
Alan

Default Got It!!!

The wire had been folded back over the harness and the entire harness rewrapped.

All set now, thanks for the help.
