Re: How can I wire a fuel gauge..?

its pretty simple and should come with intructions. Does the gauge you are looking at do 0 - 90 ohms? If so its pretty simple. The wiring should be power , ground and a wire that connects to the fuel level wire. Im pretty sure its the purple wire that goes to the tank and you can access it before it goes thru the body at the hump behind the rear seats
