fuel gauge hook up

^^A quote from the above THIS IS IMPORTANT^^

3. Facingthebackofthegauge,thecon-nection post on the right is for the +12 Volt power, the center post is for the ground connection and the left post is for the sender connection. After you have mounted the gauge, connect the sender wire to the left connection post. AttachthewireasshowninDiagram7,page7.Donotovertighten

WHY is that so important?? It is because these gauges, unlike a voltmeter or the stock Mopar gauges, has THREE connections. This is because the fuel gauge is what is called a 'bridge' circuit. They "should" be much more accurate generally speaking. But they must have a proper ground. I would run a pigtail to the column support bracket
