I am going to be sending it in to have it rebuilt, but for now is there a temp fuel gauge I can tap into my wiring just so I know how much I have in there?
pretty much something I could find locally at orielly or napa.

Oreillys has cheap fuel gauges, they are ok but not autometer quality. Been running one on our mud buggy for years. As far as I know all s10s used the same ohm sender as any old gm so just gotta find the wires to tap off of. Over on the planet Tink has a diagram of swapping from digi to analog clusters that has the wire info.
