Wiring help for the 911 gauge cluster in a 914

[dgraves]

One of the previous owners of my 914 installed a 5 gauge 911 cluster into the dash of my 1974 - 2.0 914. Unfortunately, whoever did it use mostly all red wiring to attach the additional gauges. As a result, I've got a very messed up wiring situation and would really like to clean it up.

Does anyone have wire color coding and for this type of 911 instrument dash in a 914?

Thank you,
Dan

Jump over to 914World.Com and you should be able to find an original '74 914 wiring diagram. I would start there. Also, plenty of 911 dashes have been added to 914s over the years. I am sure someone will pop up with a conversion diagram to assist. Good luck.

Thank you very much. I'll try 914World.

You will have to look through them to find the gauges, but they are there.

Hi Dave,
I've used the flow diagrams with a lot of success. The trouble I'm having is how to add the EXTRA gauges I have with this 911 dash conversion. I've got an Oil Temp and Oil Pressure Gauge that needs wiring and I don't have a clue how to connect.

Best regards,
Dan

The gauges need power, ground, and a signal. Look for symbols on the back of the gauge. Ground is typically three parallel lines, each one shorter than the one on one next to it, so they look like a triangle. Power is very often "30" or "+". The signal is usually "G".
