some questions after an awesome boneyard day 200

today i went to a new junk yard here in nashville for the first time. they had atleast 10 volvos in what i guess is the "euro trash" section of the HUUUUGE lot. i picked up a lot of good stuff i "needed" for my 86 240gl. i got a black leather rear seat cushion in GREAT shape. new metal sun roof crank like my girlfriend's 740 has. turn signal assembly (no lense) to replace my broken one (where's the cheapest place for eurocodes lenses?) a piece of lower door trim. rocker switch for bun warmer with little red insert intact (mine was missing.) 3 gauge cluster out of a 240 turbo. i plan on eventually turbo charging my b230f ala turbobricks so i thought the boost gauge would probably eventually come in handy. even if not, the actual voltage meter and oil pressure gauge are a very welcome addition to my dash. a corona center cap in very decent shape, but with bent tabs - easy fix. i found a motorized antenna in good shape but couldnt get it off because i didnt bring stupid pliers. i feel like im forgetting something.... anyway. i put all the junk i found on the counter and the lady started looking up the prices on her computer. she said the seat was $35 or something. luckily my brother chimed in, "but its a rear seat... not a bench seat." she said "oh i thought it was from the front.... $6.50." then she rang up the center cap. $1.50. then there was some confusion about whether the cluster counted as a speedometer cluster and if the sunroof crank counts as a window lever. anyway... silence... then "$9.35 after tax." WHAT?!??! i paid her very VERY quickly and ran out the door. what a day. anyway.... now some questions.

there's an oil pressure sender on the block that is NOT the same as the oil pressure idiot light sender right? so im going back for the antenna and i thought i'd ask where to look on the turbo to get the oil pressure sender so i can actually use the gauge. any pointers? i THINK the turbo i got it off of was an 84... meaning it would be a b23 right? it wasnt efi if i recall correctly... anyway, it would be nice to have that. is there already spare wires on my wire harness to route the sender to the gauge cluster or do i have to wire it up myself? same question for the voltage meter. the boost gauge obviously doesnt help me much right now due to the fact that i have no turbo. but im just curious. how does this even work? does it just hook up to the vac line off the manifold or is it directly on the turbo? hmm i had some more questions... i cant remember cause its so late. anyway, any help is appreciated. thanks!
