Last night I read several instructions that say to wire the power to the terminal behind the "F" (passenger side) and the sending wire to the terminal behind the "E" (driver side). This is how I originally had it wired. So, I'm going to test the Ohms on the sending unit and may have to remove it from the gas tank.
Bill, The 12v conversion kit came with two voltage reducers. I don't remember, but I'll see if there were instructions.
"1. The gauge has two main terminals:
Passenger side (driver’s side from the back of the gauge): This is the positive (B+) terminal, connected to the ignition circuit. It has a red paper tag under the bottom securing nut (The Stovebolt Forums).
Driver side (passenger’s side from the back): This is the sending unit terminal, connected to the tank sender (The Stovebolt Forums).
2. Wiring connections
Positive (B+): Run a solid wire from the ignition switch (or ammeter) to the passenger side terminal of the gauge.
Sending unit: Run a solid wire from the driver side terminal of the gauge to the sending unit on the fuel tank.
Ground: The sending unit and the gauge itself should have their own clean chassis grounds (Vintage Chevrolet Club)."
