Oho!  Apparently these gauges are a little more involved than the 2-wire kind 
I'm used to:

I pulled a Chevy wiring diagram, and sure enough, the gauge has a connection to 
+V (tan), a connection to ground (direct), and a connection to the sender 
(brown).  I'm unclear on how it works internally, so trying to fake it up with 
a parallel resistor like with a 2-wire gauge may well not work as expected.  
Sorry about that.  Anybody know what's in the 3-wire gauges?
