92 firebird 3.1 to 454

Hello. I have all the pieces to swap the 3.1 to the 454 for my 92 convertible. The question I have is how to wire the gauges so they work? I bought a 91 with this swap but it was wired wrong - no gauges, had to run wire from battery to dist etc. What is the proper way to wire with the factory wiring. Thanks. Bryan

Just use parts of the original harness to hook up all the gauges, dizzy, starter, and a/c. All the connections should fit and the gauges should read right.... you should even be able to use the stock sending units.
