Default 81 Wiring Diagrams - Gauges, Engine?

Anyone have the above wiring diagrams or a link to them. I have the 81 AIM coming but don't know how much wiring detail it will have and also don't want to wait.

Thanks

The service manual would probably be better than the AIM on diagrams. The diagrams sold by NCRS are supposed to be top notch also. The only link I have in my bookmarks is for a 78, but may be of some help. http://www.corvetteforum.net/c3/tune...l/index6.shtml

That helps alot. I was wondering where the high speed blower relay was located. Hopefully the 81 is in the same place.

I was also wondering if there were other connections besides the circuit board to the oil pressure gauge as it's getting power but not reading about 0. Have to check the sender somehow (Ohm meter?).

Thanks again...

I don't have a scanner, but the '81 service manual can't be beat for wiring diagrams :nonod:
