Fuel sender wire routing

Even my 67 Barracuda, it is just under the load floor.

It follows the back side of the axle housing hump from the tail light harness. Goes through a hole towards the pass side, with grommet, then follows the fuel line to the tank sender/pick up. Just like the pictures above.
 
If rewiring, I would sheath that wire, plus strip off all the friable woven factory cover and re-sheath those. I used PVC tubing for electrical harnesses (SPC Tech, Amphenol, ... buy on ebay), but only where you can pull the terminals thru. Others use nylon mesh, which expands like a Chinese finger trap to pass terminals thru, or split loom where you can't pass wires thru.

The factory sender ground is via a steel clip which connects the fuel tubing around the non-conducting rubber tubing and hopefully connects to the body via the tubing clips, but it can corrode. In my cars, I attached a wire to the sender. Some new senders have a ground clip for that (recall), otherwise I used a hose clamp on the outlet tube, with silicone grease. I ran the ground wire thru the grommet to a screw in the trunk.
