New fuel gauge
Can you replace the fuel gauge with a aftermarket gauge with wiring differently just hooking up to orange and ground.
1970 f-250 camper special, 360, holley P/N 0-80457S (electric choke) 4v carburetor, edelbrock performer390 intake. I love my truck like I love my women.

Re: New fuel gauge
No, the orange wire is actually a component in the ground circuit.
The sender is just a variable resistor inline, where the "ground" wire at the tank completes the ground circuit.
You'll have to have power to the gauge to make it operate.

Why is it that there's seldom time to fix it right the first time, but there's always time to fix it right the second time???
That's not an oil leak
That's SWEAT from all that HORSEPOWER!!
