FINALLY! After months and months work....
...the '93 is running and road-ready. Turns out that the metal vacuum pipes attached to the head were clogged (don't ask how) and causing the truck to surge then die.
Now I'm putting on the finishing touches, so I have a question: where is the oil pressure sender connector on the wiring harness? Isn't it supposed to be on the same line with the brown connector going to the starter? I have two wiring harnesses and neither has the white wire I see in everyone's pictures. I'm wiring up my new SR-5 cluster and need it to get the oil gauge going.
When all is said and done, I will post some pics of this truck which has been the bane and love of my life.

I really don't know how it got clogged, but there were a LOT of dead ants in there. I think the guy that worked on it in my absence didn't do anything but keep it under a hummingbird feeder and the sugar attracted them...whatever, it's done.
Back on topic though, what color is the wire for the oil pressure sending unit? I wanna get this baby going ASAP! I gotta put in my interior though: got a whole new one from a '99 Tacoma at the junkyard (bucket seats, console, shifter, steering wheel, cruise control module) for $67. Just need this gauge to work now.

UPDATE: Found the wire. It was yellow with a blue stripe (green if you look at it where it blends with the yellow). Plugged it into a junkyard sensor and VIOLA! It worked! Now I have a functioning SR5 cluster!
This begs the next question, though: where's the first place I should drive when I put this thing on the road? ;-)
