Gauge power question.

Will I be OK if I run all of the gauges to the fuse box? The wiring diagrams show the speedometer going to the fuse box (Red/Black) and the rest going to the ignition switch 15 Run/Start (Red/Black also). What is the difference?

red/black is just the generic color used for power to gauges it is used for other things also to figure out which wire it is is to put power to it and see what works.

Well, I know which wire it is. I just want to know if I can route them all to the fuse box. My new harness has a generic "gauge power" circuit.

The gauges take very little power, so a 5 amp circuit on the fusebox should be plenty.

Make sure the wire that went to the run/start of the ign goes to the same type of power at the fuse box.
