Another 56 Mercury question. Ummm, never mind. My sending unit had 2 terminals but only 1 wire. After cleaning off 60 years of grease, both terminals are connected, so the 1 wire works. Cleaned them all up and the gauge works now.
Thanks, I only have the gauge and have it figured out, I did edit the post but can't seem to find a way to delete it. Thanks for your comment!
