Matt On 3/4/2010 5:45 PM, Bruce Griffis spouted this sage advice:
Yep - yellow wire. No new wires run. I should have been clear. Car is on jack stands. Battery is disconnected. Wire to the fuel sending unit is disconnected. Fuel line is disconnected. J-bolt is loosened. Front-end of gas tank is on a jack stand, back is still on the strap. Hopefully it will be warm tomorrow at lunch time - so I can swap out the fuel sending unit (and pick up a sheet metal screw).

A squirt of spraypaint on the screw, wire and metal when you're done will keep water and corrosion out later.I just connect power to the sending unit, and then the ground wire to the body somewhere, right? Re-connect the battery and cross my fingers?By this I assume you mean connect the (yellow?) wire back onto the sender in the tank, not some separate power wire... you'll likely start a quick and serious fire i you wired 12V onto the sender. The sender is connected (through the harness) to one of the terminals on the gauge, only. Just double-checking.
