 Can someone tell me what wires go where. I want to hook up this guage temporaraly cause mine in the dash is not working. I think the brown wire from sending unit goes to the peg on the right. The guage in my dash is working sometimes, mostly needle points just above E, then as Im driving it works good for a while.

So I figured it out. If anyone cares. The brown wire from sending unit goes to the pin with the red coil,or right behind the  F, You need to make a power feed so when the key is turned to the ON position the guage will get power, that goes to the other pin. Now you will need ground. Get a wire find good ground and using aligator clips on all, attach ground clip to that small copper bar at the bottom. Now it works.
