Aftermarket VDO fuel gauge help needed Options

[tornik550]

I am trying to use a aftermarket VDO fuel gauge. I am not very clear of how to wire it. Obviously positive goes to switched positive, neg to ground however I wasn’t sure where to connect the sender post on the back of the gauge? I tried hooking it up to the “G” post of the gas tank sender- gauge then reads 0 (even though tank is full). I tried hooking it up to the “WK” post on the gas tank sender and the level goes up to 3/4- even though tank is full. I have used an old gas sender and a brand new one and the same thing happens with both.

Most OE fuel senders change impedance. Most aftermarket gauges measure resistance. Or is it the other way around? Regardless, never the twain shall meet.

I do not know what the factory 914 sender or the VDO gauge uses. But I used the following device in my non-914 race car to convert factory (Honda) sender to be able to be read by my resistance-measuring data acquisition system:
