540 vette

I am installing autometer gauges and need to id some wires in my 80. These are the wires at the connector of the original panel. I don't want to cut out that connector just splice into the wires.

Light wire
hot wire
volt gauge wire
fuel sending wire
water temp wire

I have a diagram but it is hard to read. And yes I did a search

Using my Chilton's manual tells me the gauge wiring is the same for '79-'81 though '81 had a computer (as well as CA '80).

So i think u want the wires as they come out of theat gauge panel connector.
Here goes: Volts gauge wire is a Pink with Black(stripe?) and #39 on the wiring diagram.

Fuel sending wire is = Pink and #30 on dia.

Water temp wire = Dark Green and #35 on dia.

The wire for the gauge panel "lights" = Grey and #8

For a "Hot wire" i think u mean a wire thats hot even with ign sw off. Try the Clock wire = Orange #40

Hope this is what u wanted.
