fuel gauge issues

Ever since I swapped in the clutch pedals when I did the T5 conversion in my 88 TC I've had an issue with the fuel gauge not functioning.  I currently have the dash pulled back and I'm searching for pinched/broken wires but I have yet to locate any problem areas.  Does anyone happen to know what color wires I should be looking for or does anyone have the EVTM handy and can scan the pages that show the dash wiring? I would really appreciate some help with this issue

yeah really,, you know there are plenty of EVTMs floating around.
matter of fact, I have a CD yet to upload of the 84 & 85 from softtouch.  seems like CD options in laptops are becoming obsolete

and there is always the telephone.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
