Can anyone tell me what the plug (for a better word) is called that goes on the terminal of a fuel sending unit. It pushes down on the terminal like it has threads on it. I am stuck.

The connection wire for the gas tank sending unit. So you can read how much gas is in the tank.

Thanks Ziegelsteinfaust, maybe I said it all wrong. What I was asking is what is the wire plug called that you push down on the pin to make it read the fuel level. After doing some research I think it is called a Single Contact Molded Connector (90 Degree Single Contact Female Molded Connector). If it is then I just ordered 2 of them.

Thanks for responding, John

I'd call it a connector, push-on electrical connector
