The wire to the sending unit was frayed, torn away and tied to the frame. The two times we started the car prior to me buying it, we used a gas can since the tank was in horrible shape and the gas was waaaaay past bad. He had one of those three gauge kits under the dash which all worked but none of the stock gauges moved. I'm going to try the lantern battery and use a jumper wire from it to the gauge. I was mistaken in that all the gauges are hooked up behind the dash but I dont want to rip wires off just yet. I'm putting a new harness in the car so I want to keep it as is for reference as I go
