I am changing out the gauges in my 85 and was wondering if anyone else has done the same? I am going to the Autometer ultralite gauges and am going to get my fuel level gauge, i need to know which wire comeing out of the harness is the one for the fuel level sender.
Yellow/White from the sender to a diode then turns light blue until the low level warning switch then it turns into Black/light green before making it's way to the fuel gauge.

i've done this swap, if you don't mind spending about $50, painless makes a gage swap harness that would (I'm betting) make the swap alot simpler...wish I would've seen it before I swapped over to my Phantoms...I've got a pic if you'd like to take a look
I know you can remove the stock gauges and reuse the bezel with autometer gauges. Looks pretty factory but functions alot better. Search on www.foureyedpride.com for links. Theres been a few total gauge swaps on that site. Good Luck.

I just installed 2 new Ultralight gauges in my 85. Oil PSI and temp. Both mech. 2 5/8". Very nice stuff.
Thanks for all your help, I already started my swap i have three of the gauges in, waiting on the other gauges to finish, i used the same bezel. Will check into the painless swap harness.
