Thank you, Dennis. So far that’s how I have it. I will try the sit (have someone sit) while I push back method also.

Greetings all knowing MC people from still learning MC person. When I bought my MC, it came with a non working after market sound system installed in the 90s. Wanted to figure out sub(s) status in big box pushed/bolted up against rear seat wall. Through YouTube I found the trick to uninstall the seat bottom using a small prybar to help. That was easy. Determined 2x 10” Rockford Fosgate subwoofers in push pull configuration. Oooh. Began reassemble. Down to how to get seat bottom relatched. Not as easy as prybar assist getting it out, and no internet searches have help. I’ve tried sitting on sill and pushing with foot… I’ve tried any number of tools… and I lack physical strength to push into place. Do y’all have any interesting ways of getting that seat bottom to relatch? Thank you again, oh wise MC ones.

Update to my Fuel Gauge problem (pegged at 3 o’clock position) It was the Fuel Sender. Starting again with a big thanks to all of you for your helping answers. Emptied tank, marked all 5 lines from tank, dropped tank. While tank down, i treated the metal under and around the tank with Ospho and then Eastwood rust encapsulator. New hoses. Installed Dorman 692-244 Fuel Sender. Gas Tank reinstalled. Pain dealing with old compression clamps and new hose thickness. Refilled tank…. Checked gauge…. YES!!! we have a gauge. So if you’ve read this far…. one more simple question. While on creeper and rolled under differential, I noticed these 4 lines. Assume fuel. Didn’t see clamps on these. Are clamps necessary?

I have not yet. That’s next. I was also able to research my answer on what’s next a bit further by using the search feature on the website. Thanks for the assist.

Thank you, Rob and others. In my case, Rob’s step by step is exactly what happened. Gauge went to empty. So am I to think now, that it is the sending unit and/or to look at wire going to sending unit and check it? (I had to remove dash again for speaker related fix, so I checked for ground at the fuel gauge post and it had ground present)

Let me look at it from that angle. When I had dash off to replace speakers, i noticed on that circuit board film… that someone had soldered an extra ground lead on for a gauge near speaker. I will take dashboard off again and mirror look at all. Do you know if these circuit board films being reproduced?

Thank you, Rob. Attached is the gas gauge photo. I should add, the clock also is not working, but temperature gauge is.

Greetings again from ‘72 Monte Carlo novice. There’s been a bit of talk about the fuel sending unit possibly causing the meter to peg. I want to preorder the fuel sending unit from SS396, but would like verification on which. I do not want to drop the tank just yet, so I crawled under the car and took a photo. On the picture shown here… two lines going above the fuel tank from front of car. i’m guessing this is the dual pipe version? Based on your guys Monte intelligence… is this the dual? Thanks again to all.

Bought my 72 from a reseller who obtained it from an estate. I removed dash to start process of repairing radio towers… to discover only the right speaker was there on a chop job of original bracket with an Alpine 4”. No speaker on left, well… the “chop job” installer found out the 4” would not fit at dash.. so he just dropped it loose into the dash. Starting with this inspiration and that I still had Concord tweeters on the pillars, I ordered 3.5” pair (whizzer cone, but use an electronic crossover to amp) from custom auto sound. I didn’t use a Twinkie box opting for a Rice Chex box. I printed your photos, upped the size to create my version of a template. Then 22 gauge 12”x18” sheet from Home Depot, a sabre saw, drill… and a lot of patience to recreate as close as possible. Thank you again for the inspiration on how to do it right also. Attached are my pictures.
