I don't know if it worked (oil gauge) I remember speedo worked, fuel and temp and taco not sure on oil I think it did. I hooked up the oil light dash it's not the right one, high beams don't work both blinkers on also.

A few things I noticed hope it gives some hints.

With oil light gauge dash.
1. both blinker lights are dim when not in use and ignition off
2. high beams don't work on dash

With oil pressure gauge dash.
1. Drivers blinker on all the time with ignition off
2. Dash light on with ignition off
3. high beams work.

I think either way there is a wiring cross-up.
See if you can't get hold of a wiring diagram.

Dash light, maybe because door light switches not attached?

The only wire I think I could have messed up is this wire, I had it labeled as reverse light because it was at the back of the engine bay and I could not see exactly where it popped off from, but after thinking it can't be as mentioned in earlier post when joined the 2 purple wires for the auto reverse would be on that loom right
