There weren't any markings that I could see. My eyes are kind of old, but my reading glasses didn't reveal anything.

On the oil pressure gauge, the terminal that's off to the left is the one that gets connected to the sending unit on the engine. The terminal that's down toward the bottom/center is ground. And the terminal over on the right is +12V.
Thanks. That helps me tremendously.

Thanks.
Will do. I'm trying to take pictures to document everything I've been doing. I'll post up what I end up doing.
