So I just got and 81 camaro with all that computer control nonsense, its all unhooked and a holley carb was installed.. very poorly I might add. and almost every wire under the hood was unhooked or mangled

I'm still pretty new to small block chevys but I am not new to working on cars, this just happens to be the first chevy that was in good shape that i could get my hands on.

I need to know what sensors are where and what wires go to them, non of my guages work except for tach and speedo.

the temp sender on the back of the manifold, does it go to the gauge? I found the wires that go to it, theres 2 going to it and a green wire coming from it hanging loose, is this the choke wire?

the sensor in the drivers side cyl head between the spark plugs, is that the sender for the temp gauge?

on my dads elcamino its on the thermostat housing, but there isnt one on mine and i caant seem to find the wires if it is supposed to be there.

my oil pressure sensor seems to be working because the idiot light goes off when i start the car but i would still like to know where its at..


I plan on supplementing the stock gauges with aftermarkets and knowing where all the sensors are and what they go to would be most helpful.


If someone can point me to a wiring diagram I would be incredibly appreciative



here's a pic of what im dealing with

 

well after messing with my dads elcamino i dscovered the sensor in the drivers head between the spark plug is for my temp gauge, and hte green wire thats near it is the wire for it. still not sure what the 2 prong sensor ar the back of the manifold is.

 

oil sender is behind the dist. you can pull the ccc wiring harness out, its a add on

 

Nice. I was hoping that was the case. I ordered a complete wiring diagram which should be here in a few days. Should help me figure out this jumbled mess.
