Doug
terminal "B" is battery
terminal "T" is tank.
Power goes thru the gauge to the sender where it is a resitive ground
(the engineers on the list will straighten out what I just said) But 99%
of the time the sender unit burns out if you fed 12 volts to the
green/black wire.
However with a very thin wire like 1 strand of copper wire from a multi
strand wire like all the wires in the harness, you can solder it up by
opening the top of the sending unit. You can see it once you remove the
screws.
I just repaired the unit in my 59 A40. The repro units are junk, don't
waste your time with them. There were a few NOS sending units at
Carlisle this weekend but that's over now.
One other thing....Is you gauge grounded? It must be to operate.
