olds rally gauge connector

[79cutlasssalon442]

I need a diagram of which pin is for the fuel gauge on the rally gauge connector. I want to run an aftermarket gauge for now until i can figure out what is wrong with my cluster. Not really worried about temp, oil pressure, or voltage. But fuel is a must. Especially since i drive 30 miles a day. Thanks in advance.

Nobody has anything?

Olds Gmail has a good writeup on this:

http://tech.oldsgmail.com/eint_rallye_swap.php

It lists the fuel gauge wire as #3 on Connector 2 (pink wire).

There is a lot of good information here.

Hope this helps,

Thanks! Now im kinda confused though. My gauges only have the connector 2. Not the connector 1..

Can you post pics of the back of the cluster and the instrument panel where they plug into?

I tried to find some and i cant. Already have the dash back together because i thought it was fixed. But it does only have the connector on the left in the dash. I remember that

Connector 2 is all you really need to worry about for the fuel gauge and other gauges. Connector 1 just has the wires for the idiot lamps.

So wait, is it possible to run real wires and grounds to the gauges instead of using the circuit on the back of the cluster? It seems like it would be possible. Just remove the stupid printed circuit..

What is wrong with the old gauge ? fuel gauges are pretty straight foward ,what was it doing ?

Sometimes it will work. Sometimes it'll read like a half when its almost full. I can fill it as much as it'll take and then the gauge will say like an eighth low. All the other gauges do it too. My temp will read 240 when i have a electric fan that will neber get that hot. sometimes it will say it isnt charging any volts. Or have no oil pressure. This is the first year i've driven the car on the road legally and ever since ut got cold once they've been working on and off. I've pulled them apart and cleaned everything and checked all the ribbons. Still is messed up.
