Jonathan,
Thanks for the help. I grounded the yellow/green wire and the temp guage moved to to the high temp position. I changed the sensor with another one that I had and it worked. Apparantly, the one I had was bad.
Again, thank you.
Mike

Mike, the gauges plug in to the existing connectors. If your regular gauges were working fine, then you shouldn't have a problem. Is your car a CVCC or a 1200? Either way you should have a yellow wire with a green trace grounding through the temperature sending unit. If you pull this off and ground it, the temperature gauge should go to the extreme high position. If it doesn't, you have a bad gauge, or a bad connection at some point in the wiring. Check for voltage at the gauge, and a good ground from it as well.

I am putting in deluxe guages and all works except the temperature guage.

There is a red wire not being used next to the blue wire that I hooked to the coil to make the tach work. Is this for the temp guage?

I am also using a different intake manifold that does not have a sensor below the thermostat (two pole). The only sensor on the manifold is the one pointing at the firewall (one pole). I suspect that this sensor will run the temp guage but I am not sure that is correct. Could someone please enlighten me about the functions of the two sensors on the intake and explain how to hook up mine since I only have the one sensor?
Thank you.
Mike
