Let me have a think about how to wire up the wipers to your stalk and I'll get back to you.

wiring dash.
can i run through them 1by1

1. oil first 2 terminals on gauge one goes to oil sender (is the other earth)

What make is the gauge, and what colour is the wire ? I'd expect it to connect to +12V, and earth through the body of the sender.

do i run a warning light of this.

You really should run a warning light. How you go about it depends on the location of the sender for the pressure gauge - ie has the gauge sender replaced the standard switch ? If so, you'll need to get an adaptor so you can run both the pressure gauge sender and a low pressure warning light switch. What engine is it ? Where is the sender for the pressure gauge located ?

2. tach (rev counter) 2 terminals and 1 earth to gauge body.

One wire will be +12V, and the other will connect the the ignition coil negative.

3. water 2 terminals one to water sender is the other earth

As per the oil pressure, I'd expect it to go to +12V not earth

4. amps there is a + and - were do they go

You'll have to investigate your particular gauge on google. May need a shunt (resistor), which you have or haven't got.

5 fuel 2 terminals 1 goes to fuel tank i guess were does the other go.

As per the other gauges, I say +12V

6.clock were can i get power from for this can i pinch from acc yellow on column?

Yes if you want the clock to stop when you turn off the ignition. I'd suggest perhaps tapping into the fag lighter wiring, if you've got one. Double check that it is permanently live.

then im up to front spots and rear fogs.

Wire the front spots up so they come on with the high beam. Use the feed to the high beam relay to also feed another relay for the spots.

The rear fogs should only come on when the headlights are on. You'll need to wire up a switch that has a feed from the headlight feed terminal on the stalk. What switch are you using ?

If you feel so inclined, make a donation to a local animal charity of your choice, and don't forget to help out someone else in need if you can.
