Check with, say Autozone or Rockauto. Simply put in year, make, and model (along with the part you're looking for) and the site should show/determine the part you need.

thx man ...i would put some pics up of my car but it does not compare to the cars on here lol ....ill have it looking good one day tho

 

a car does not have to look good for us to help out. post the pics as we like all third gens.

 

haha .ok ill put up some pics in a lil bit

 

should be a single green wire and I think if you ground that wire with the key on it should peg the gauge if it's working properly

 

ill have to look for a green wire..like i said i fond some cut wires =[....thx guys .....

 

sooooo i tried all the green wires i seen and the cut ones .and noting on my Temperature Gauge.did not move ..=[...option 2 any one? haha...

 

.

 

so my Carburetor is dripping gas .....i think i might have to re do it...anyone no where to get a good rebuild kit???

 

Ok, Dustin. I'm not trying to tell you what to do. It's your car, but it's sounds like you may have a project on your hands. I've got an 87 IROC that "needed some work". Hindsight is always 20/20 on these things, but I would recommend you get a pen and paper and start making a list of what you NEED to do to the car. Then make another list of what you WANT to do to the car. I fell into the trap initially of trying to fix a lot of little things, when I really needed to fix some big things that would make some of the little things easier to deal with. If you are looking to make the car a daily driver and not much else, fix your carb and temp gauge and enjoy yourself. If you have bigger plans, make your lists and set priorities. Just a little friendly advice from someone who has been there, done that, and didn't have a clue.

lol ya its a project for sure ...and ya im makeing as list ...its going to be my daily driver for now tell i can get on my feet ..after that im going to get a diff car and make me z28 what i want it to be =]...if you look at my pics you can see it needs some work

 

Wire color is Green. and runs from the loom behind the block down to the driver side.
There is also the same plug on the other side that is a green wire as well.
