MC1of80 Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Most owners have purchased or had their clocks rebuilt. As far as the gas gauge, very rarely the gauge itself is not working. What is the issue with yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traveler Posted October 3, 2022 Author Share Posted October 3, 2022 The gauge points to about 3 o’clock with the key on or off. When I bought the car the gauge was just over full, I replaced the tank and sending unit with and in tank pump when I installed a holley sniper. The chassis ground was corroded so I sanded it clean, if I remember correctly I verified continuity between the chassis and the fuel gauge terminal(a mind is a terrible thing to waste). The tan wire in the trunk has no voltage to ground and I don’t get an ohms reading across it. Most of the dash light were burnt out so I replaced them. One had a loose trace on the circuit board but I was able to get it to lay down under the contact. I pulled the connector from the pc board and attempted to clean it but didn’t see any issues there. I have ordered a new circuit board( I guess that’s what you call it) thinking there may be an issue there. thanks for the reply john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
