Calibra gauges into Cav

[BENJIEGSI8v]

Hi all,
Along with my tucked away Nova I have a Cav Sri Redtop which i want to no if its possible and if so how to put the battery and oil pressure gauges from a calibra into! I acquired them from a calibra down that scrapyard.
Any help would be great

You'll need the gauges, wiring plug that goes into the back of it from the donor calibra, and the oil pressure sender off the back of the engine or buy a new one!

The 4 wires that go into the gauges are (iirc) :-

Black - Switch Ignition

Brown - Earth

Blue/yellow - Pressure sender to gauge

Grey - illumination

its a switched live or they would be illuminated permanently :thumb: i would use a switched live from the headlight switch which can be found at the stereo or switches nearby.

bump for a quick question, can i join the black and grey into the same switch live?

guessing so?

Not unless you want the Backing light on all the time the ignition is.
