This cluster board connector has NO ground wire.

This is the diagram from the 71 service manual, I can find no such diagram in my 70 manual. YOU MAY be misreading the legend at far left, where it says G1-18BK FEED and then GROUND below it.

Bear in mind that BLACK wires are NOT necessarily ground and in fact there are actually FEW ground wires in any of these cars Many of the lamps, the VR, alternator, and so on, are grounded directly and not through wiring.

Thanks for this diagram its much clearer than what i have and i do see that number 8 is not a ground as i thought. I am going to have to pull cluster and go from there i add a ground from cluster to bare spot on the car so i would seem not to be a ground. Maybe as someone stated the bfuel gauge may be bad i have extra that i can try another one. I know its somthing simple but frustrating trying to pin point it. espeicialy when i have power at the plug
