I would suggest you just get one, they are cheap and just thread right into the block.....it makes it real simplified and easy. I do not remember rreading in the manual any other place though there likely is another way. None easy I know of.

You have to use the sending unit that came with the autometer gauge. The autometer sending unit should have a washer and nut with it that threads onto the end of the sending unit. Just run a wire from your autometer gauge to the sending unit and put a ring terminal on it. Put the ring terminal onto the sending unit's threaded nipple and install the washer and nut.
