another fuel guage question

This couldn't be something to do with changing the polarity of the car, could it, if it had been done in a rather Heath-Robinson fashion?

The gauge is not polarity sensitive, it works on heat.
I can't see how it could be 'heath robinsonized' but
stranger things have happened. I have posted an
early(948) sender unit to Rob who has the same
problem and he will let me know the result.

Well, it was just a thought. Not a very good one, mind, but a thought all the same!

Good luck, all - hope we get to the bottom of this!!

MRCLION.....The early(948)sender unit which I sent to
Rob has apparently cured his problem of 'gauge reading
backwards' So you need to obtain a similar 'early' type
sender too. So to all of you, If you uprate your car and
in doing so change to a black faced speedo you MUST fit
the late type sender unit too.
