Andy,
Is there a chance that you have a late model, vented MGB fuel tank? In my
'77 there is a vent line directly behind the filler neck. A hose goes from it
to the vapor separator on the inside of the right rear fender. I think the
filler necks are different on the pre and post leaded gas era tanks. I also
think that the fuel level sending unit only uses one wire, ground provides the
return path.
