What kind are they? Electrical/mechanical? Oil,fuel press,water temp? Mechanical gauges usually only have a ground and hot wire that goes to your parking lamp wire,which would be brown in our cars. As far as the sending units,if you e-mail me with the kind of gauges you are getting,I'll e-mail you details.

the place to go w/ your 12V ignition source is on the fuse block. If you duck down there and read towards the back of the box you will see the letters "IGN" and 2 arrows pointing to the connector. Just crimp on the proper connector to the wire..any conncetor kit has the proper connectors you will need (I think its a spade connector...*not sure*) and shove it in there. Now you are good to go. If you have multiple wires that need to go to the "IGN" just use a "wire tap" connector onto the first wire u stuck in there and you are all set.
