    1968 Broken wire at temperature sending unit

    I had another look at the manual, and this comment lines up with the colour coded wires in the schematic. I am just going to wait for Scott Drake to confirm that their colours in fact conform with the original Ford ones and then we'll modify the harness as you have suggested. Phew...this has...

    1968 Broken wire at temperature sending unit

    The label indicates that it is for a car without a tach.

    1968 Broken wire at temperature sending unit

    Thanks. I consulted the manual, and found it a little confusing in that the page that was for Mustang, was referencing idiot lights instead of gauges. I have just sent an email to Scott Drake asking for clarification on the wires by the colour codes. Let's see what they come up with.

    1968 Broken wire at temperature sending unit

    The spaded wire is too short to be for the oil sender. The elbowed connector is longer for the oil pressure sender. Also, the oil sender on this car is a post connection, for the elbow.

    That's not an original paint/stripe colour combination is it?

    1968 Broken wire at temperature sending unit

    Here is a picture of the harness. My understanding is that the two elbow connectors are for the temperature and oil pressure senders, which would mean that the third connector should be for the coil. You mentioned in an earlier reply, that if the car has been converted to Petronix, then the...

    1968 Broken wire at temperature sending unit

    I have been unable to find a 90 degree adapter to use the spade type connector on my harness. I will most likely end up cutting it off and going to a ring type. Oh well.

    Thanks. This helps a lot.

    We are going to splice the broken connection and I will look for one of these 90 degree connectors. I have already looked at the NPD and Scott Drake catalogues and didn't find anything. I might try the local parts stores to see if they have any generic ones that would work.

    1968 Broken wire at temperature sending unit

    What would it have looked like? I've had two 67 and two 68 Mustangs and I'm pretty sure they were all ring type connectors.

    1968 Broken wire at temperature sending unit

    Got my harness today. It's a Scott Drake product and looks pretty good except for the connector for the ignition coil. The one on the car has an eyelet that slips over the post and is held on by the coil nut. The repro has a spade-type connection that I can see no way would work. Going to...

    1968 Trans Am wheels on my GTCS

    I like the wheels, but IMHO, I think the car is low enough already.

    1968 Broken wire at temperature sending unit

    Thanks guys. I had a closer look at the elbow itself, and it is cracked, so there is more going on than a broken wire. Think I'll get a new harness and be done with it.

    1968 Broken wire at temperature sending unit

    I was doing some detailing under the hood and managed to break the temperature sender wire off right at the elbow. Is there a way to open the elbow up to reconnect the wire or do I need to get a new harness?

    . RIP GT/CS S Code

    I just heard that a local to me GT/CS owner and friend, Al Page, passed away this weekend. He will be missed. He was GT/CS S Code on this site. This is his garage: http://californiaspecial.com/forums/dto_showcase.php?do=preview&g=1026
