Title: Minimum wiring needed to start engine
Post by: wheels78ta on November 23, 2024, 01:29:56 PM: I getting closer to starting the engine for it's break in period.

What is the minimal wiring needing to do this. I don't need the lights or anything like that. That's for later.

I will plug in the Fuel gauge, Volts gauge, Oil pressure gauge, Water Temp gauge and tach.

I have some wiring already hooked up but wanted to make sure I'm correct.

oil pressure and coolant temp would be advisable, which means cluster power and sensor wires
