hello all- just looking for any advice/recommendations to power the voltage gauge. mk iv complete kit with ff vintage gauges the sheet from the manufacturer just says attach yellow line to "12 volt power source". not sure where to hook up to.
thanks for any/all responses

It draws very little current. You could pretty much pick any ignition switched circuit. Personally, I use the Brn Gauge Feed wire, same as powers all gauges, since that wire is already in the dash harness. Or you could pull from another source like radio, choke, wiper, heater.

Don't typically make it that far north. But I would love to. Beautiful part of the state and lots of great cruising. We'll see. Some invitation stands here. If you're in the SE area, give me a shout. I enjoy having visitors.

You're right. Need to remember to check the newest version schematic since it looks like everyone is receiving that one now. The connector is on the Brn Gauge Feed wire I recommended in the previous post.
