I wanted to see if I can get the battery and temp gauges working, so I dug into the wiring to see what I have and don’t have.

Discovered that my dash harness has the wiring for the battery gauge, but the engine harness does not. Not a surprise since the truck is made up from 67, 68 and 70 parts. Can I add the 2 wires to the block on the engine side of the firewall or do I have to run them separately?

The wire for the temp gauge runs into the engine bay, but was disconnected when a PO added the under dash gauges. I should be able to hook that up once I get the correct temp sensor.

These discovery missions seem small, but they are all important as I continue to make the truck better.
