Fuel Gauge Shoots Up To Full

Me again, My fuel gauge reads passed the full line. When I turn it off it goes back down. Its been staying at that spot for the past 3 days. Not sure if it's a bad sending unit or faulty wiring. I haven't had a problem before. As soon as I turn the car back on it shoots up to full again.

Hey guys, so I replaced the stop switch (Napa) both rear bulbs were replaced as well. Still nothing. My taillights do work, nothing happens when braking though... Could this be crossed wires at the trunk? Or is there something else I should check?

Hey guys, when replacing the stop switch, any bleeding of the system necessary? Is it a simple remove and replace? For a 22nd series

Perfect, I will remove the unit and what's going on. I tested it a little more it seems to be very "steamy" through the vents. More than the first time... I can't see a leak, but it sounds definitely like a leak. Thanks guys

Hey guys, I did also read, the article stating heavy rainfall may also be the culprit. I read drilling a hole would release the accumulated water from the unit itself... Has anyone done this? If so, any advice?

Possible Heater Core Leak?

Hey Guys! 😎 My 49 22nd has been running great👌🏼 I unfortunately had to let her sit for 2 weeks. When I finally got around to starting her up, she had the infamous "Maple Syrup" smell and a significant amount of smoke coming from the vents. I dont see a leak under the dash, but I'm assuming it's a bad heater core. I don't mind the labor, just curious if the unit itself can be disassembled and repaired, before I start yanking stuff out. 😁

Tail Lights

Hey guys! 😁 I've got one day to tackle this issue (work). One Tail light is brighter than the other.... And my brake lights don't work. I intend to replace bulbs tomorrow, and check my wiring. Is there anything else I should check, or is that generally what it might be? (License plate light works fine)

Alright, so the Radiator has been repaired and Thermostat installed. The air flowing from the fan was finally cool. With the infrared Thermo I checked all around during warm up. Once the thermostat opened a big puff of smoke came from the block, it only smoked for about 20 seconds. What's a good operating temperature? It seems the only way to keep it cool, is to keep it in motion.

Sorry I'm just now responding... Busy week at work. The previous owner had removed the Thermostat😕 I checked the temp with an infrared thermometer... The temp seemed to be fairly consistent along the block, the radiator seemed to have a difference of 10 degrees in certain spots. My fan has been installed properly, it definitely increases air to the block... However the air alone passing the radiator is almost intolerable to the touch (hot) I'm pulling my radiator and W.P. Tomorrow. I'm gonna also pull the water distribution tube, to be sure. Freeze plugs also.... The water pump seemed to develop the highest temp, before shutting her off, it was about 220 degrees. When everything else just peaked over 200. I'm assuming blockage, but I just got paid and don't mind fixing what's not broken haha I'm replacing the cooling system components, if nothing gives, I'll triple check my distributor. I had a similar problem with a 53 Packard years back. Thank you guys for your time and expertise
