Yikes, what a mess. Seems like way too many issues to make it worth the time, effort, and expense of repairing - but more power to you. Enjoy, and welcome to the forums.

This cured both a fluctuating oil pressure gauge and wasted terminals.

Thank me later.
Do you happen to remember what that cost you from the dealer?

Something like $110 bucks.

This is the only part I could find online that looked like what we're talking about.
Is this what you're talking about?

That seems different. My set included positive, negative and oil pressure.
That one is described as "positive" and looks like it has the alternator leads plus the positive cable.
It's one of the rare times I make (made) the trip to the dealer. The counter guy didn't have any trouble identifying the part I needed.

Hopefully he will know when I ask! I can't get the mustang over there so I'll just take lots of pictures and hope for the best. I'm still going to try to find the right gauge wire and try to splice it myself. I cut a little further back and the copper seems good, not corroded.

If you parts hound and do the work yourself, could end up with a decent driver. Interiors pop up a fair amount, become the expert on what cross fits. Good luck man.

I look forward to following this thread. Sounds like www.latemodelrestoration.com is going to be your friend.

That is one of my favorite colors on the mustang too.

Most of the things you listed aren't too hard to fix/replace. If you're willing to put the time and effort in, this could be a great fun project for you.

You could probably go to NAPA and get what you need to make all of that no problem on the cheap side.
