Default Fuel gauge

This is a gauge I’m putting in my 36 truck. I’m using the factory 36 wiring harness that has a yellow, black and yellow and I believe black and green. Diagram seems confusing so I’m wondering if anyone has a picture or better diagram of how it goes.

My oil pressure is at 10lbs at idol and when driving, maybe that’s the norm and I have it correct?

Thanks.

Make sure you have the correct oil pressure sending unit. Some are stamped 80 on the brass shoulder. That isn't the one you want.

I will double check that. I bought the unit That was recommended by the fella that rebuilt the gauges. What would normal oil pressure be for a stock 8BA?

It could be all over the place depending on the condition of the engine. The senders are #50 & #80 and need to match the gauge.
