guages almost done, need voltage

I've just about got my guages installed, but I still have to pull power for the lights and 12v ignition. Where did ya'll take power for those at?

Oh, and does anyone know where the thread is for the variable resistor to control idle speed? I havent been able to find it again.

Thanks

You can tap into the wires for the radio. I think these are the colors, but check with a voltmeter or test light. Dash lights-light blue with red stripe, 12v ignition-yellow with black stripe.

Yep-same wire same circuit. If you are doing an a pillar install, that would be easiest for the lighting.

Got the EGT and boost done tonight. Works great. Now I just have to install the trans temp sender. Where did ya'll install the sender? On my L I have it drilled into the pan, but seem to remember seeing pics of one in the case. Anyone know what I'm talkin about?
