I got a yellow wire from the sending unit that runs to the fuel gauge. Does it connect to the E side or F side of the gauge? Im getting 12v from the E and 6 volts from the F terminal of the gauge. I also have a voltage reducer where do i hook it up?

Use of the search function can help a lot. It leaves a lot to be desired but it does help. Also perusing the topics from the last few days can provide some info as well. From two days ago. Another good source is the Old Online Chevy Manuals site which has this wiring diagram. I'm assuming you're looking for a '53 since that's part of your handle and you didn't specify in your post.

I hooked mine up after about 20 minutes the gauge went up in puff of smoke! Will the reducer fail before the gauge and possibly the gauge will be saved when a reducer fails? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | How/where did you connect the resistor? What brand resistor did you use (vendor name and part number)? I have used his one. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 88 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 88 | I connected to the back of the gauge...E terminal from the ignition. I'll need to check the brand | | | | | Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 88 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 88 | I also grounded the reducer...quality shouldn't be a problem...it shows as "runtz" with instructions from Fifth Avenue Antique Auto and I've had very good experience with them. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | might be best to contact 5th Ave and discuss it, note he's a moderator of this forum, although he might not check in often
