I’ve been given one of these temperature gauges but there’s no wiring diagram with it. Does anyone have a wiring diagram or is there a link to How to anywhere?

Scotchloks are the devil's connector!

In the early noughties I bought a 1975 TR-7. I was having issues with the ignition cutting out. Upon investigation I found a nip in the low tension wire to the coil caused by a Scotchlok. I repaired the wire and the car ran well for a few days, then the problem recurred. Giving the low-tension wire a closer look I found another nip, then another, then more, for a total of 7 previous Scotchlok applications. I replaced the wire right back into the harness and the problem was gone for good. I have never used a Scotchlok since!

By the way, that TR-7 was a very early Speke car, VIN# around 750. The car was totally rust free and a great runner. (After I fixed the problems caused by a succession of uncaring previous owners!) It was one of those cars I should have kept.
