Any help would greatly be appreciated.

I’ve recently bought a 1991 Toyota Hilux with a 2.8 Daihatsu Fourtrak engine conversion, and I’m trying to sort out some of the wiring. I’ve got a few questions:

1. What colour is the original oil-pressure sensor wire on the Hilux side?
2. Which wires from the original Toyota external voltage regulator need to connect to the Daihatsu regulator/alternator, and which colours correspond?
3. What colour is the main wire feeding the engine-bay fuse box, and should it be connected to a permanent live or an ignition-switched live?
4. What colour is the Hilux dashboard coolant-temperature gauge sender wire?

If anyone has a wiring diagram or has previously completed this conversion, any advice or photos would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

I have been keeping an eye on the price difference between motorway services and regular forecourts for the work vans, so here is what I have noticed. Right now, diesel on the motorway is almost 20p a litre more than... Right now, diesel on the motorway is almost 20p a litre more than the average at normal stations across the UK. If you fill up 80 litres, that is about sixteen quid extra. If you do that twice a month on long trips, by Christmas you have basically paid for a set of front pads.
From what I have seen, the price gap is worst on long, empty stretches, the M6 north of Preston or the M5 heading into the south west, where there is no other option for miles. Supermarket forecourts close to a junction are usually the cheapest, and most accept the same fuel cards. Services on A roads often charge motorway prices too, so do not trust the services sign to mean cheaper fuel.
The prices come from the official feed which every forecourt has to update within half an hour. I use https://fuelpricetoday.co.uk/motorway-fuel-prices to plan stops. It lists every motorway station against the local average. If you have got a regular cheap stop for big tanks, post it below. It would be handy to put together a list for the big tanks.

I am in the US trying to find parts for mechanics to fix my 1994 Hilux Surf. The Hilux was never sold here so our mechanics and part suppliers do not know this vehicle. I need a spill control valve but it appears it is not sold separate from the Fuel Injection Pump part number 22100-67030 (replaced by 22100-67070.) Other posts make it sound like you all are finding spill control valves, but without a part number I cannot even search for one. Any advice? Because I have to import parts, I usually cannot return what I buy so I am risking a lot. Please help us keep our Hilux going. When people recognize what we have, they are thrilled to see it, but we are getting desperate for parts.
