Default 81 oil temp gauge harness

Anyone have a picture of it plugged into the harness in the back? It looks ambidextrous, and it's not in the books.

I can snap a pic of mine when I get home. Do you mean the plug for the entire guage cluster?

No. The oil temp plug. It's separate.
I'm pretty sure now the pink/black wire goes towards the drivers side.

I would like to see how all center guage wires connect. Which set is for what guage is easy enough, but orientation of the connector not so much. I if you connect the amp meter or fuel guage, etc. Does it matter the orientation of the connector????

I'll get a pic for you when I get home if no one gets one first.

I wish I could remember how I wired my oil temp gauge in place of the clock but I did it back in 1985/86....worked perfectly since then
