Of course you could just go to Pantera Place and look at those wiring diagrams Bill spent so much time developing!

Yellow low fuel warning light and white/black fuel gauge.

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).
