Do I need another wire to complete the loop or is the green wire the only wire I'm dealing with?


As for the vacuum, I was told by Gary Terry of www.cs-m.com that I need to run a tube from the gauge through the firewall to a hose the goes from the intake manifold to the A/C. Then tap into the line by adding in a "T". I was just curious if anyone had some info about it while I was asking about the temp. gauge.
Standard temp. sending unit, and yes the green wire should go all the way to the gauge IIRC

Post up pics. on your progress...we all like pics. to look at
