1974 Ghia Clock Wiring

Balmoral1958 · Posted: Sun Oct 15, 2017 4:37 pm Post subject: 1974 Ghia Clock Wiring

Hi

Replacing my existing clock with a better one.

Not sure what wire connects to 58a per attached

Also no clock connected - think it connects to 31 - but which fuse is this.

Bentley manual is not that easy to read.

This hole by 58b (or maybe 58a on your clock) should be for the third instrument illumination bulb, with a gray w/ red stripe wire if it is the one you have circled in red. The clock motor should hook up with circuit 31 to the post just below the black and green wires crossing in the left center of your picture; it has no fuse in its circuit according to Bentley p.7-5.
Anybody know how to fix or get a new gas gauge (not tank sender) for a 74 Ghia?

Your clock does not look correct for a 74. How many turn signal lights do you have on the front?

the gas gauge and sender are 74 only. I did get a new sender from KGPR but the gauge I got from them was not right. I actually had to find one in a junk yard...

you could probably switch both to a 72 system

Did anyone grab this pdf locally as this server is out.

I stumbled over this last year and now am at the point in the build where this diagram would help immensely.
