The directions from Autometer call for using a telfon thread sealant which is what I used. There is a reducer adapter that is screwed into the welded portion that holds the sender. Shorting the sender sends the needle to the highest reading so the gauge is working. Going to check it with an ohm meter next to see what kind of continuity there is between a good ground and the body of the sender. I noticed on the Autometer site there is something called a short sweep sending unit which is what I have. Just got off the phone with them and they confirmed the using a teflon thread sealer as well as using an ohmmeter to test the grounding. Onward....
Thanks

Did you install it with thread sealing tape or thread sealer of some kind? If so, it may not be properly grounded. |
