Default Gauge cluster question

1978 L82 took apart gauges for repairs ,mixed up resisters on volt gauge and oil pressure gauge . I have a blue resister and a red resister and can't remember which goes to oil gauge or volt gauge .

Actually.. they all varied per gauge. The gauges were balanced to make the best possible correction in accuracy at the factory. Some gauges on one cluster will have red, others dark blue, orange, green and so on.

Here is a picture of the back of a cluster from years ago.. no red... Two dark blues a light blue and a green..



And as you can see from this picture they all had different resistance.



And I saw this pic on another thread..
