Re: 89 tbi to carb questions

The fan switch is a simple relay grounded by a thermal switch mounted to a cyl head

Coolant gauge is a simple direct to gauge circuit, cant get any easier. Same for oil

Lockup will be lost sans old ECM, but aftermarket kits exist to get it working again. BTO comes to mind

12ga ORN
18ga DK BLU or GRY (varies)
