install a volt fuel guage in Amps fuel harness

[bloxman]

Evening everyone

Strait up question

Can I install a Volt / fuel guage ( unknown year of Z) into my 75 280Z wiring harness as plug and play?

The Volt / fuel plug is identical is identical to the Amps / fuel on the back of the guage though the wires are a different colour (scary).

It was determined in a previous Thread that this was the way to go as I do not have a shunt (none came with the car) and I have done the alternater up grade to get rid of the Voltage regulator

Yes I know there is a lot going on electrically!

Thoughts ,encouragement , solutions would all be appreciated!

IIRC the AMP guage main terminal wires should be connected together when it is removed...

The volt guage + should connect to the main wires the AMPS guage used and the - to ground...

Do not attempt the hook up the VOLTS guage in series the way the AMPS guage was wired...

I think a later version of the AMPS guage used a shunt under the passenger kick panel... That may change the underdash wiring significantly... use caution here...

I still have the shunt I managed to get for you from Doug Nicole's parted out 75 280Z.

Post something up here if you decide you need it. :classic:
