You may be right Mike, but then again, if Wilkinson didn't send a third tab
with the sender, then it may not have the low fuel switch in it.  You're
also right about asking Wilkinson for the best answer.

    ith only two wires on it, Wilkinson's sender likely doesn't have the
    connection for the low fuel light in your dash gauge which is fed by the
    yellow wire.  It really doesn't matter but I'd connect your car's black
wire
    to Wilkinson's black and your car's white wire to the sender's blue.
Leave
    the yellow wire unconnected



  I seriously doubt that.

  The early cars had a sender with provisions for only two wires; one was
for fuel level and the other for the idiot light.  A small separate tab was
affixed under one of the sender mounting bolts for the ground.

  I would presume this to be the case for the new sender too, although the
easy thing to do is just ask Wilkinson???
