For a 1972 Volkswagen Beetle with a Bosch alternator, the wiring typically includes connecting the B+ terminal on the alternator to the battery positive terminal. The D+ terminal should be connected to the warning light on the dashboard and then to the ignition switch, while the D- terminal is grounded. Make sure to check your specific model's manual, as wiring colors and configurations may vary slightly. Always ensure the vehicle's electrical system is turned off when making any connections.

To wire the fuel gauge for a 1972 Volkswagen Beetle, connect the gauge's positive terminal to the ignition switch's 12V power source. The negative terminal of the gauge should be grounded to the vehicle's body. Connect the fuel sender unit's wire to the gauge's sender terminal, and ensure that the sender is properly grounded as well. Always consult the wiring diagram specific to your model for accurate connections.
I remember the push rod tubes being a source of an oil leak.

Inspecting the wiring harness for frayed or exposed wires and testing individual components can help identify the source of the problem. It's important to address the issue promptly to prevent further damage to the electrical system.
