Repco " Start with the parts " my arse! I asked them for clutch pressure plate to flywheel bolts, the guy didn't know what I was talking about. the local one

I don't understand how it can be wrong! If all wiring and dash and sender are from same car only difference it the V8 engine how could it not work?? very very confused, there is no ECU in this bugger, How would it be wrong

only bit of wire from V8 is the tail light loom.

So get the multi-meter and check the resistance from the sender terminal to ground and report back, disconnected of course.

Remember my batt negative is red.

I did notice since transfer right blinker light says on only thing I noticed different, I un plugged that tail light loom and still stays on.

Have you looked at the gauge while the sender is disconnected and see if it drops to 0?

just did that and it goes all the way up still same as it was! with the sender wire disconnected

That crappy dash I took photo of before was in the 6 when I got it, on the back floor! I think the 6 had the dash swapped to the taco, oil pressure dash. Which makes sense. that one in the car will not work!
