This is handy to have in the shop for quick peace of mind until you fix the cluster/sender problem.

I think he means for you to buy the gauge set.

As for the fitting, go to a store like Lowe's or Tractor Supply and find a street elbow that will work. You can get a Sensor, not a Switch, for an 88 - 91 (IIRC) and connector for it.

Could I also just attach an oem fitting with a new switch and run the wires from the dizzy one to the new sensor?

Why don't you just replace the Sensor on the China Rail?
Im confused, is there multiple sensors on the engine that are used? I

I thought that the one that was used is up by the distributor and the other ones are plugged off?. It is a 1994 truck if that matters. 350 engine.

Yes, and that's why I said older TBIs use the sensor by the filter housing and the switch for the fuel pump on the China Rail. Your 94 uses a 3-wire Sensor for the gauge and the fuel pump.

Ah gotcha, so only one sensor.
