<VV> was coil wiring help - now temp/press wiring

[J R Read_HML]

Ray,

First, how do you pronounce "Grymm"?  Is it Grim, Grime, something else?

Open the right damper door and look inside.  You should see, screwed into 
the bottom side of the head and near the door, the temp switch and the wire 
from it.  The wire passes through the shroud and into the engine compartment 
near the HB.  The lead from the oil pressure switch at the top of the oil 
filter adapter meets up with that wire where they together plug into the 
wiring harness.  Now, it is possible that the routing is slightly different 
than I described here - but those two wires have to come together at some 
point - before (or as) going to the plug on the harness.

Later, JR
