I swear by this mod that I learned about here on Moparts years ago. I'll never install a new sending unit without adding the wire first. I added the text to the picture. Very interesting and good to know. I will definitely try that next time. Thanks

4 My original unit had a crusty ground clamp/strap from the sender outlet to the body mounted fuel line. I replaced it with a reproduction piece from Summit. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/OER-MF290

Did your units work correctly with the wire and no other changes ? Yes and No. They did, electrically. The float arm on one still needs to be bent. When the gauge reads empty I still have 1/8 of a tank of gas in it. I fixed an original A body sending unit for a friend that I videoed showing how bad the ground was before the wire and steady after the wire. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gV_HMJa5maYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5m71Tes0n0

Kind of like a safety issue: i.e. margin for error. Like the lights they have on modern cars, when 2 or glns left til empty. And who cares if a full tank reads a smigg'in above/below the F mark. It's not you're going to calculate your mpg per these gauges.
