Car: VIN=85 T/A, CAR=82/3 T/A gfx, go figure. She's a T/A anyway!
Engine: 5.0, Holley 600 cfm 4-barrel
Transmission: THM350 ??
Have you checked your fuses? I've got an earlier T/A but I would assume that there's a fuse or two for the instrument panel.
Next step, check the oil and temp sender units connections. I THINK you do this by pulling the connection off the sender and then running that connection to earth - the gauge should then go to full deflection. If the gauge does work then suspect a faulty sender unit.
I SAID I THINK THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT, BUT DON'T QUOTE ME...YET!!
Hopefully some electrickery type person can confirm this on your model of 3rdGen - I don't want to be blowing the cars' comnputers up!
