ok so im a moron when it comes to wireing, and yes i have both chiltons and haynes manuals..but i cant read schematics. the guages im trying to wire up are water temp, and AIR/Fuel ratio guage. the problem i have is finding a wire that is part of the ignition or is on only when the ignition is on...

yes i know everyone says "oh well just use the ignition wire"... yeah too bad i have no idea which one that is... i have tried to wire them up to a big pink wire coming off the steering column.. but to no avail... no power..

can some one direct me to what wire i need?? im completely lost and i need very direct and accurate info.. under the dash.. where, what, am i looking for?? please help

 

are u using a test light. use that and u will be able to easily find the wire

 

What I did is I got an inline fuse holder. And took a female spade connector and hooked it into my fuse block. THeres an open spot next to the inst. Lamp 5 am fuse that if 12 volt switched. It worked out greta on my 91 camaro. Hope I helped out a little.
