Restoring 510 Racecar - gauge wiring troubleshooting for the beginner

Hey all,

 

Car is running well and the clutch engagement is perfect. Thanks to Les over in Vista, I got my oil pressure gauge working and the readings are good!

 

I thought now would be a great time to address all the gauges and wiring issues. I got the tach working for a few minutes after running a new wire to the negative post on the coil and then a fuse blew. I replaced the fuse but the vdo gauges' back lights are not working as well as the ignition warning light on the dash. I'm going to post this topic in electrical. I have very limited experience with wiring, let alone trouble shooting it. I do have a budget meter I bought a while ago from Home Depot, but no clue on how to use it. Any references to a single site (so I don't get confused) such as the idiots guide to auto electrical diagnostics would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks again,

 

Kamaksun
