I was able to get the vacuum gauge to work by buying a brass adapter to attach a 1/4" barb to the back of the gauge. The adapter and 1/4" barb were threaded on with teflon tape. I used six feet of 1/4" vacuum line and ran it to a T that I installed about two inches from the vacuum line coming out of the rear of the intake manifold that leads to the AC canister. The gauge reads right down the center at "15" during idle and drops to "0" if I stab the throttle but bouces right back to "15". I guess that's what it should be doing?

I found a few cut wires behind the block wile under the hood. One wire on the passenger side and another on the driver side. Not suprising to me, the volt meter and temp gauge do not work. I installed a new temp sensor. I think the cut green wire I found needs to be connected to the temp sensor and that will resolve my temp gauge issue.

I'm not sure what I have to do to get the volt meter working. Any ideas?

Thanks,
John

Good job John, glad it worked out for you. You're right on the green wire, I'll see if I can find the volt wire for you
