4th Gen ('81-'88): Temp Gauge help
So for the most part my gauges are okay(speedo is kinda wobbly and the tach is wobbly too) but my temp gauge is the only one NOT working. i see where its suppose to connect on the drivers side of the engine under the manifold but i dont see the so called green wire with the clip that connects to it. my computer is out so that might be why the wire is missing.
1)how can i hard wire it, most of my gauges are but the mechanic i had disappeared off the face of the earth
2) can the wire be bought at the store
3)can i tighten my gauge needles up or not
thank yoouuuu

Your tach is attached at the distributor and if it is wobbly, check the connection at the distributor..it is attached on one of the little prongs underneath where the starter attaches.
When I get home I will take a pic of all three of these areas for you.
But all of my gauges except speedo are aftermarket. Not sure if you can get just a temp sensor without the gauge.
Is your temp gauge aftermarket or stock?
Connection at transmission for speedo

Connection on distributor for tach

Connection on block for temp gauge (aftermarket)
