Fuel sending unit

Post by 1970Custom »

So the '71 has been converted to under truck tank location (damn thing looks factory) but it doesn't have the sending unit hooked up and I don't want to have to guess as to when I'm about empty.

Now there's a wire right behind the seat that I know is the sending wire for the gauge and the tank looks to have the sending unit in place with a few wires (or hoses, didn't have any light source to check it).

Is it as simple as connecting wire to wire until the gauge moves???

well your truck could have had dual tanks in it. and the switch could be missing. or it could have been added and the switch never put in place. i think you could just run it to the orange wire behind the seat and be ok without the swithc since you only have one tank now.
