Actually, quite shocking, but Googling around for you I just found out Autozone's site has these also. Take a look and if it matches your specs bring it back here and post it so we can add it.

cool

Ok tonight I hooked up a 2amp batt charger rather than the truck batt. and the fuse held. the volt meter was reading 13 or 14 on the dash guage (with key in on postion). I moved the AC switch over to low and the volt metter dropped big time. Is this a normal sign??
I also tested most of the other wires for continuity and i was gettign a pos. reading.

Last week I had the starter wire going from firewall fuse box to directly to the starter and batt terminal. and I didn't have the AC relay poweer wire hooked up. everything tested fine then, when I hooked the truck batt. up. Yesterday I put the maxie fuse between the firewall fuse boxs and the starter, as well as hooked up the AC relay or blower relay (not sure which it is) power wire inline with the starter. Once I connceted the batt. to test every thing again the maxie fuse blew.

So if this is a little unclear, but this is my first wire just, and I'm not very good at explaining what its doing or not doing.

Any luck figuring this out yet man?

I'm a bit confused on which sensor is for the oil pressure switch and where it goes

I found this right under/near the distr

removed it and I added a switch very similar to this

But then I came inside and googled it and found that this might be my oil pressure switch

I have the oil temp working, also the distr that it has on now is missing a 4 wire plug, not sure if thats very important, but I do have the old proper distr if I need to install it.

Any thoughts and inputs would be greatful. Thanks!
