I am replacing the original oil pressure gauge but no longer have the original wiring.

I know the 3 terminals are,

Switched live
Earth
Feed to the sender

The 3 terminals on the gauge are marked 1,2 & 3.

Which is which?

This is a 95 serp engined car.

Thanks for the offer Peter, I just got off the phone from Mr Sardonicus and all is well!

BTW, mechanical gauge read 55 at idle when cold, electrical reads about 40!

Doesn't surprise me, if you look here:

And see my graph you'll see that the electrical sender is grossly inaccurate.
