Temp Gauge Help!!

[dmjlambert]

There was a wire bundle that plugs into the firewall connector left half (as you are looking at it from standing in front of the truck). It is wrapped with non-adhesive vinyl tape knotted in a clever way to keep it from unraveling at the ends, but when putting the wrapper back on I have used black light duty zip ties. The bundle goes straight up from the firewall plug into a plastic wire gutter, across the length of the wire gutter, then down to a clamp on one of the transmission bell housing bolts on the passenger side. From there the wires come out of the vinyl wrap and go off in different directions engine related, to the coil, starter, temp sender, etc. The temperature sender wire had a cloth wire cover on it to protect it from heat of the engine if it went to the driver side head because it was laying on the engine where the intake manifold meets the valve cover. For the passenger side sender that would be very close to the clamp at the bell housing so it may not need a cloth cover. Here is a picture borrowed from another thread.
