I think those questions rank right up with who turns out the light when the freezer door closes, where does the fire go when it goes out, and what is the meaning of life. As to the LM7805 chip, I know it's used a lot and was the first (to the best of my knowledge) electronic replacement for the automotive electromechanical regulator. I personally use the version from rt-engineering as it mimics the original and isn't prone to a failure that would apply the full +12v to the gauges. Again, just personal preference. |

Any electronics store (or Amazon?) would have a multi position Molex connector (standard 0.062" pin and socket) . They come in 1-36 pin sizes, increments of two (except for the single, or course!). You might want to use one of those instead of individual connectors for the wires. I know those round connectors on the back of the original PCB are a PITA to remove, but then they have usually been on there many years... even those that have been removed a time or two like yours have probably been on 10-20 years between removals. I use those for car stereo installs in my old vehicles. Wire one of those into the car and keep an index card with the pin-out in the glove box, wire that side up to the pigtail with the stereo. Easy to swap out that way, just get another connector and wire the pigtail, plug in.
