Do you know what color these wires are under the hood on an 86 lx hatchback?

1. tach signal wire color

2. oil pressure sender wire color

3. coolant temp. switch wire color(the one that tells the gauge in the cluster how hot the car is)

See http://slantnosefox.com/picturehosting/jeremy/86 electrical & vacuum troubleshooting manual.zip you can download the whole set of electrical troubleshooting and diagrams for an 86 Mustang courtesy of Jeremy, AKA V8only.
It is a big 61 MB download that you get to unzip and save on your computer. It may take some time to download it, but the results are worth your time.
