It's a 'box' about 2-2 1/2 cms long, screwed to the back of the speedo on a III, prob' thee same onna II. You can replace it with a solid state one, got mine off Fleabay fer about £7.

One wire goes to the fuel sender unit and two more wires coming off the same point go to the fuse box. On the other side of the fuse box that wire goes to the ignition switch

looks like yer aint got one, yer might have fukt the gauge as they is temperamental instruments hence the fitting of a stabiliser, i would get a stab and if it doesnt work you will know the gauge is shagged
