I am working on installing a Tach, Temp and Oil Pressure gauge in my '74 Duster. I have everything squared away except where to get the power from for all 3 gauges.

I want to wire them in so they only get power when the key is in the "run" posistion. Do I splice in to a power wire 3 times?

What/Where is the best way to wire in multiple gauges?

Tie all 3 wires together and tap into power at the fuse block. Just find a cavity that's only hot in the run position.

In my 72 pickup I mounted my new gauges in the old dash. I found which wire was switched power coming to the cluster, and tapped off the circuit board there.

Now I can just unplug the one cable and still pull the cluster out. (I also re-used the existing fuel, oil, and water temp wires)

Found it!

Thanks for all the help!

This picture is from the other day, still have a ton of work to do. I can only tackle it one part at a time.


Thanks!

ahh yesss. Looks very familiar, using the fuse pannel is best. Someday I want to make my own dash using the redline dash.
