Hi Folks,
You DO realize that this type of gage requires not only a good ground at
the sending unit but also a GOOD ground at the dash unit. Without the
dash unit ground during gage adjustment & in service, the readings will
vary considerably. The U shaped mounting bracket is NOT a good ground.
Regards,
Dave Russell
