I wiggled the sender around a bit at the end, that was not a problem there. I was just moving it around a bit to check repeatability.

Looks like you have the system down pat to me.

That's great. Tunebug once again will benefit from the knowledge of a fellow BCFer. Maybe now I won't repeat my run-out-of-gas trick. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

I hope not Drew. I been there pushing before too, not fun at all.

Man my 73 Midget when I do that with the sending unit takes like 10 seconds to move from empty to full and the same 10 seconds to go from full to empty. It isnt that responsive. Any Ideas or just the nature of the beast?
BTW it did it with the old sending unit and also does it with new sending unit. Altleast it works /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

Oh, and let me say this too. I think I can repair most of the senders for the bugeye and earlier midget, so don't throw any of them away even if they are not working.

And Kim is not kidding, he can take junk and make it work again. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/thankyousign.gif /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/bow.gif

You should have the 10 volt type in that one. Yes it takes a bit for it to get there. It does not have the same type sender or gauge inside. That is just fine though. The bugeye gauge will move around any time the gas sloshes, where those sort of filter some of that out and give a better average fuel level.
