I've never seen the AD for these, gotta love all the crazy shit they came up with back in the day. I just missed a 4door Fc with one of these mounted on the bed. I'm going to be kicking myself for a very long time for not jumping at the sale

Turns out my grandmother lived in California for a short time.
My mom was going thorough some old boxes and came across these. I'm debating on registering the plates on my FC.

Just put it inside the cab in the windows.
You think like that because you still live in California. Sucks but I totally understand.

I would do it just put a small lock on them or something or weld the bolt to the frame so no one can take it off ever haha

I get no reading it's a sending unit specific for the tank. (Willys truck tank). The gas gauge is from a CJ.
Okay, did you check to make sure that the sending unit is connected to a good ground like the frame?

100%. I wanted the old reverse of this, yellow on black for my Plymouth back in the day. Never happened. Take advantage!

Yep, cleaned it off with a grinder, I even grounded the housing on the gauge just in case
So, on the gauge you got power going to it, the sending unit attached and then the ground all connected, right? On the sending unit, you have the power lead going to the gauge and the ground attached to the frame as well but still have no signal? I'm pretty sure all the old CJ gauges use a 73 oms empty/10 oms full setting so if you had a bad ground at the sending unit, your gauge would read full. Being that you have no reading, I'd have to say that you either do not have a signal coming from the sending unit or maybe you have a bad connection at the gauge. Do you have a an aftermarket gauge that you can test things against? If not, I might recommend it.
