Well guys that sounded like an easy fix.

I just ran a wire from the old generator light wire (it was twinned with the brown/white wire from the ignition clip) to pin #5 in the dash clip (originally not used for anything) and fired up the old beast. Not so much as a twitch out of the battery gauge.

Sounded too good to be true...and was, at least for me! Back to the drawing board.

BTW, does anyone know if you are suppossed to get continuity across the two copper posts on the backside of the battery gauge? Mine ohms out, and I'm wondering if that means the gauge is shorted out, or if that is what it is suppossed to do.
