I installed a gas tank under my bed on a 1965 chevy C10 several years back and now I need a wiring harness plug to fit the fuel sending unit connection. The stud is about 1/4 inch diameter that is on unit. I'm not having any luck finding this. Any help will be appreciated.

I'm confused. Why do you want to plug the sending unit?

Not wanting to plug it. Needing the plug for the wiring harness that goes to the fuel sending unit.

JDM777, is the stud threaded or just a bullet style with a groove? if threaded you may be better off using a ring terminal on the wire.

JDM777 - I've added detail to your thread title and moved it to the Electrical Bay as the best on-topic forum for your question. 78buckshots' suggestion sounds right to me. wink

HyJDM777 and guys, a picture of the terminals you are trying to connect to, or a description telling us the number of connections sure would help, also if you could tell us the original application of your fuel sending unit, that may help us to track something down.

There is no "plug" as in: connector plug. You will use a crimp-on ring tongue terminal for the stud. Crimp and shink tubing/liquid tape. Repeating what buckshot said.

If you want a boot, may be able to use a spark plug BOOT

If the post is what I am imagining, the original boot is maybe 1/4" OD.
