No apologies needed here- I've typed plenty of stuff that's been corrected by the real mechanics, an they still keep allowing me to come back.
Anyway, when I looked at my wiring scematic for my 87, I found that the instrument panel was wired differently for the non-gauged than for the gauged panels for 1987. The printed circuit boards were different, So, in order to make my incoming wiring match the new circuit board, I had to move some of the pins in the 18 pin wiring connector at the instrument cluster.
ie, I had to move the fuel signal from one location in the connector to another location.
Same with the oil sender signal, water temp signal, grounds, power (12volts) and geez, I can't remember all of them.
Oil Pressure- I had to replace my oil pressure sender ( previously mechanical), so I installed the new one at the plug above the oil filter, and lo and behold, a nearby wire proved to be the one I needed for the oil pressure signal! The old sender illuminated an idiot light, so I guess it was a switch rather than a sender.
Water Temp- I THINK I reused the same sender. I remember that the wire was green.
When I found the sending units in the catalogue, they noted whether they were for a gauged or non-gauged truck.
