Re: dash cluster plug question..

Congrats on getting it started. I know that is always a big deal.

Okay, just to make sure I am following correctly. All the Grounds are connected together and go to a ground. All of the Positive terminals are connected together and they are connect to a switched (by the key) power source. This is what will turn your gauges on and off with the key.

Each gauge has a sender connection which goes to each sender (water to temp sender, oil to oil pressure sender). As for the fuel gauge, the Sender connection would go directly to the gas tank sender. You basically want to find which wire is the one that is connected directly to the gas tank. That is the one you want on the fuel sender connection on the gauge.

Here is a diagram I made up that might help.
