Kevin,
Although the sending unit should be grounded by the mounting, When I got my
B the fuel guage didn't work. I checked all the wires, they were good, I
attached a ground wire to the sender ground stud and I have had no problems
to this day. (thats pertaining to the sending unit).
Good Luck,
Preserving the "B"reed
