Subject:Wire length, engine to dashboard is 26'

I'm (slowly) wiring an electric oil pressure gauge
into my westy.  I got an 8 conductor cable and will
use the others later.  My wire is long enough to flop
around by the left rear taillight.  It goes under the
van at the thermostat, through the tunnel above the gas
tank where the 4WD driveshaft would go, up behind the
passenger headlight, through the "firewall" (it's an
easy spot to drill; grommets available at Home Despot),
and over to the instrument cluster.

With a few feet of slop built in, the total wire length
was 26 feet.  So when you go to install your widget, now
you know how much wire to get!

Oh, and I got a beautiful braided stainless extension
 _with the right threads_  for my sender.  Yum.
