you have 2 wires to connect
the brown goes to the sender unit
and the black to power
with the ignition turned on check the sender unit first by grounding the brown wire to earth and see if the gauge goes to the full mark this will mean the sender unit is working

do worry about the resistor at first just check that the gauge is working then hook up resistor
the calibration wont be correct so you will have to calibrate it yourself eg know when its 1/4 and 1/2 full dont worry about the full indication as it will be off the gauge
