Mike,

Once you get the unit out it should be pretty evident which wire feeds what and wether that is oriented the same on the new sender. In theory it shouldn’t matter as the wires are just connected to either side of a variable resistor one side to the wound resistor coil the other the resistor wipe arm (float).

   Mike,
   Once you get the unit out it should be pretty evident which wire feeds
   what and wether that is oriented the same on the new sender. In theory
   it shouldn't matter as the wires are just connected to either side of a
   variable resistor one side to the wound resistor coil the other the
   resistor wipe arm (float).
