alright so im installing my air/fuel gauge today. i know that the purple wire goes to the white wire with the red stripe. i think i must have seen that 10000 times while searching but where is the best place to run the power and ground wire. i want it to be after a fuse so i dont blow any thing up. i also have a vac guage that has just a simple light that i would like to hook up in to the dash lights where is the best place to do that ?

i ran my ground to a bolt under the dash. and my power is to the red wire on my radio so it only turns on when the key is in the on position... not sure about the vac gauge.. that is what i did though..

i connected all grounds to a bolt under the dash

I took power off of a fuse, but think that I will move it to the ignition wire.

for the lights I used the same ground as the guages but I took powere from the headlight switch from a wire that showed +12V when the parking lights were on

uhohhhhhhhh so i am standing here over my engien as i write this and i am lookin at to differt white wires with red stripes. there are three sets of wires. one of the white wires is in the top ground and the other is in the bottem group any ideas?

what guage wire should i uses

alrighty then you boys have been alot of help thank ya very much
