Help for a newbie

Just bought an 85 RX7 to play with, don't know a thing about these cars so I may ask some real basic questions. First, would like to know where the temp sensor and the oil pressure sensor are located. Also, the wiring is a mess, could use a schematic of the wiring harness if someone has one they can post up. Thanks for any help.

Bob

Oil pressure is on the rear iron under the oil cooler . Coolant sensor is by the alternator on the back of the water pump housing .http://foxed.ca/index.php?page=rx7manual a lot of people on here like to use foxed so here's the link.

I thought that water temp sensor was just the one for the thermo choke?

My water temp gauge functions perfectly with it unhooked.

I think it is but functions for both? I recall diagram having them listed as sensor 1 and 2 . I also have had just the one on the rear iron connect and had it function. But wanna say that I have had it function vise Versa also. But I may be wrong.
