Q: Hi Dave, while converting to a six, you need to change tachometer. Which i did. Couple of questions about the wiring. I just cant read flow chart and wondering if 1974 has different wiring than 1973.

A: There are a few differences...


Q: I have a 1974 with stock wiring, and a dash left gauge with temp on the top, and middle row of lights: brake warning, volt, (white) and oil (green), and fuel gauge below. 1973 charts say brown/white to brake warning light on the left dash gauge. I have brown/yellow to one pin. Whats the colour of the color on the other pin?

A: Black/Green/White. This is found on track #44, item K7. Two con-
nections, one br/yw, one bk/gr/wh.

Q: Does 1974 has separate turning light circuit? 1973 charts say two cable: one should black/green, the other should be black/white. Mine has only one, and its bk/gr/wh????? Does this mean that there is no separate left/right flasher light on the 914/4 1974 tachometer? The 911 i have do have. What to do?

A: The 74+ cars have one single turn signal light in the tach. Some early-production 74s had 73 tachs, with two arrows. Both were hooked to the same wires and flashed at the same time. You'll probably have to do the same thing with yours. I suggest running them in parallel, or just hooking up one bulb. The turn signal bulb is K5, on track 45. Its one connector gets a
black/white wire, and it is grounded through the body of the gauge. You may need to run a separate ground wire to each bulb, as well as running another
wire from the power connection of the one bulb to the power connection of the other.

Q: What fuse location should i plug the fuel pump wire if i want power to my fuel pump to be available on both IGNITION and CRANKING.

A: As I've said before, fuse #9.

Thanks Dave!
