wiring diagram

I'm looking for a wiring diagram of the fuel guage all the way to the tanks and every thing in between. I'm sick and tired of guessing how much fuel I have. thanks for any help.

i camt help you there, but if you get a stick and poke a hole in the top of the tank you can measure it with a stick then you aint gotta guess.

well the hole in the top of the tank would also help my filling problems. The 2 local gas stations have the high volume pumps ( which have the large nozel) with the nozel in there there is no room for air to get around it so it burbs and spits fuel at me.

The guage dosen't work for either tank...so both floats are bad?

You Da Man Cruickie!! Thanks alot. Hey here's another question for you: Will the instrument cluster from a gasser work in this truck? I know the Tach will read higher than 4,000 rpms but will it still read corectly? I'm thinking that might be part of my problem seems how the only 2 guages that work are the amp guage and the oil pressure guage.

See if these # work for your gauge.........

Here are the fuel guage test #s for the 93

22 ohms sent to the guage it reads empty "E"

145 ohm sent to the guage it reads full "F"

Here are the sender test #s

Sender at empty stop 14-18 ohms

Sender at full stop 154-162 ohms
