i've inherited an 86 c10 with a 4.3L and I've searched but haven't quite found what i'm looking for. The truck came with the dummy lights as i call them and I've gotten all of the gauge cluster items to swap from the lights to the gauges, and from what i've read my water temp sensor may work, however the oil pressure gauge is where i'm having trouble.
The 4.3 in it uses the two prong switch for the light, and from the wiring diagram uses a dif wire from the v8's with gauges at the instrument panel connector, is it possible to just run a wire from the gauge connector in the v8 location to a gauge style pres sender? Or is there any other way to convert the gauges?
I don't like the look of aftermarket gauges in that body style truck. I was basically given the 3 gauge clusters, lens, etc and i plan to swap a v8 in the truck later on.
thanks in advance for help.
