Hello all! I am working on my twin turbo 1968 Chevy II Nova and wiring all my gauges up while the shop finishes my block. I definitely am going gauge overboard, but want as much info as I can get. My question is, I am using the Autometer 4 gauge holder for the console with all electric gauges, none mechanical (especially not the fuel pressure in the car!!). I am wiring all the grounds for the lights together, I am also wiring the white (positive) wires together. Can I wire the ground for the gauges with the grounds for the lights and run one large ground wire from all the connected to a good ground source?
Secondly, I always drive with either my lights or parking lights on. I always have...I dunno why, but it won't change. So can I, for simplicity of wiring sake, run the positive white wire from the lights to the individual switched "I" terminal? The terminal is a positive that will only be on when the car is on and not drain the battery, correct? I am not worried about running the lights all the time, again, I always have them on anyway and they are LED lights, so not worried about draw with the car on.
Thanks for your help!!
