Just talked to Mancini's Racing about my sending unit--told them what I had checked so far and they say it is the gage. Told them that I grounded out the blue sending unit wire and got full gage deflection and the guy said you should NEVER do this as it si bad for the gage.
Oh well he kinda convinced me he didn't have a clue, so I guess I'm off to bend the float and see if I can get this thing working--any other thoughts anybody has I'd appreciate knowing
