have a 72 Starcraft Capri. Original fuel gauge. Seller said sender unit died. He ripped out wiring & never got around to fix. I just replaced Sending unit, but am now cofused on how to hook up to gauge. The gauge has 3 posts on back in the shape of a triangle. The top says "gnd" next to it, so I guess I ground that one? The bottom right post has an "ign" next to it. I guess that goes to the "+" on the ign switch? The 3rd post i'm guessing goes to the "S" post of the sendig unit? Please advise. Thanks.

You have answered all your own questions correctly. Do yourself a favor. Take the wire that goes to the S post and ground it out also. If the gauge does not move it is also bad.
