>>>I got a set of decals from Chevy Duty for my gauges, and they are really
>>>nice.  Match the color perfectly, and if you read the instructions, and
>>>spray a light mist of water on both surfaces, they are easy to apply.
>>>Question:  It seems that the gas gauge has been unhooked for a few
>decades,
>>>but the gauge itself seems to be intact.  I have a wire coming from the
>>>sending unit at the tank, which obviously attaches to the gauge.  On the
>>>back of the gauge I have 2 terminal posts, one of which I assume is for
>the
>>>sending unit, and the other a hot wire?  I want to make sure before I do
>>>something that will set off a spark or something.  Then, there appear to
>be
>>>2 very small terminals extending from 2 tiny coils.  Do these fasten to
>>>anything?  I doubt it, because I have the 2 terminal posts where the nuts
>>>fasten on the back of the gauge.  It's just a little confusing, since I
>>>don't have anything to go by.
