Part of your conversion should have been an ECM from a TPI car. The ECM gets power from two circuits. It supplies power to all the sensors from those sources. ECM loads, like relays and solenoids, generally get power from the gauge circuit, and the ECM only switches the ground path to complete the circuits to operate the devices.
