Fuel sending units are a problem for the 22nd. 23rd. series Packards. Howard can get into more detail then I can, but they are very hard to find. They show up on ebay now and then and are expensive. You check the dash unit by grounding out the wire to tank sender for a second or two, watch the gauge and don't let it go past 3/4. If the gauge works it's time to drop the tank (some people cut a hole in the trunk to remove it, check for one before dropping the tank) and remove the sending unit. First thing to check is the float to see if it is full of gas, your lucky if it is and they can be soldered to repair. You need an ohm meter to check sender, terminal to base and slowly move the arm. If it doesn't work clean it up if dirty and see if the arm moves the diaphragm, some times they are rusted to pieces. Hope this has been of some help Dell
