One was for the gauge, the other (3 wires) was tied into the choke circuit.

But IIRC, a green wire is usually engine temp or AC clutch power. That connector doesn't look right for an oil sender.

ok that make sense the choke was not hooked up and that wire was just laying on the eng . so can I just do away with the 3 wire oil sender don't need a choke on a BB tbi engine
