heys
just got a ta22 gt amps/oil pressure guage - and i want to swap it into my car , but no wiring to go with it - and its different at the back than the standard lights setup
I have the existing idiot light setup in it for oil and power , ..
What do i need to get it all up and running , ie analogue oil pressure sender from what ? and do i need anything fancy to get the battery hooked up with the guage without frying it ??
Any assistance pleeze

thanks 
seems the wirings pretty straight forward for a car sparky ( need a few other things done as well to dash so ill get it installed then ) buuuuut - does it work with the standard 2t oil pressure sender - or do i need to source another - AAND - is there any specific wiry things i need to hook amps side of things up to the battery - i dont want the thing to go zap - if fuses / resistors are needed also - im not trhat cluey with electronics

The standard 2t oil pressure sender wont do the job! The standard item is just a simple on/off job so it wont work!
Sorry thats all I can tell you!

didnt think it did - hence ask - i believe a 3sge celica sender works though ???
luckily i believe they have the same thread - and the wiring wouldwirtually be the same ( one wire in ) unless im wrong

Its only a resistance setup so any analogue gauge sender will work! But you will need one that is calibrated for that gauge!

The senders that I have seen I dont think can be calibrated! Although thinking about it I reckon it would be possible by just adding a resistor, but you would nee something to calibrate it to! Another gauge that doesn't use a sender would be a good start! Would just be a matter of using a T peice and fitting the the other gauge!
I hope you understand what I mean cause its a little late/early, whatever
