What color is the temp gauge wire on the engine side of the fire wall, and what position is it.
mine is a 69 C-40.
I assume the 69 to 71 c-40 to c-70 would be the same position coming out and the same color.

can you tell that I have a wireing nightmare?

Thanks

I think it is yellow, but I'll look at mine tomorow when I get home from work. mine has a 292 but usually the colors are the same. you're not alone most of the big trucks have been hacked up with different accessories and engines over the years. mine is the same way.

FredM,

Although I couldn't find a C-40, all the rigs I did find used either a GREEN, or DARK GREEN colored wire from the sending unit.

Yes, the temp sender wire is GREEN! I checked mine today. The wire to the coil is right next to it in the harness and it is yellow. I knew there was a yellow wire in that vacinity somewhere.
