     Thanks Curt.

   Turns out I had a photo of my sender, and my recollection was
   completely wrong. Mine is two-wire with a ground tab.

   I have to just hope that the new sender respects the old sender wiring
   orientation.

   Still waiting to hear from somebody who has successfully pulled the
   sender without removing the window?  It may not be possible.

   Here is a photo of my 73. I had problems last year with gauge reading

   All,
   It seems to me it's possible to remove the fuel level sender without
   removing the side window glass. In fact I'm fairly certain I've done
   it, years ago, but can't remember for certain. Can anybody confirm
   please?
   Also does anybody know which wire goes where on a two-wire sending
   unit? My old one has three wires but new one has no provision for
   ground, so I will have to fabricate one. I have a 50/50 chance of
   getting the other wires correct but would like to improve my odds. I
   have no reason to believe the new sender will respect the wiring
   orientation of the old one?
