Sending unit issue help
Hello and help please for my 1972 vette . Ok yesterday I saw a small leak at one of the connections of my sending unit . As I was trying to remove the round rubbery wire that is connecting to the sending unit , I broke the round rubbery connection and now it's leaking a couple drops at a time . I feel frustrated and stupid now I should of use the correct tool to remove it but just thought that it could be just pulled out with force . So I suppose that it's not suppose to leak at that fitting if the connection isn't hooked up ? Do I need to replace my sending unit ? Also I looked on line and can't find that fitting anywhere ? I live in Los Angeles any recommendation where I can get the wire harness with the two connection for the sending unit ??

It's i believe the original sending unit that fits at the bottom of the tank . I will remove it tomorrow and see if there is anyway for me to tighten that loose fitting where the round rubbery connects and clicks in to the sending unit ( sorry don't know the name of that wire ) but I will try to see if orielys sell it because I know j&d is close on Sunday . Thx for Ur suggestion !!

What I'm talking about is the yellow pin on the sending unit that power to ground via the sender is broken with the plug connector . Would I be able to put a small bolt that will fit into the hole of the sending unit and reuse the rubber washer and make it tight and just use a wire connection on the bolt ,would that work ??
