OK! BK yes correct! Thanks both.

I ran a second ground for the sending unit, and no luck. So I went back to the beginning and wanted to confirm power flow.

1. I started at the sending unit, and did not get a hot read. So went to the source.
2. I have a hot read going into the gauge from the wire connecting the ignition switch to the gas gauge.
3. But i did not get a hot read on the driver side where the wire goes to the sending unit?

I am fairly certain i got a hot read at some point when i was testing the harness, but can't be 100% certain. What I do know is that the gauge did work prior to starting the preservation effort.

Is this leading me to think that my gauge has decided to stop working similar to my solenoid? Or should I not get a hot read there?

Thoughts appreciated!

I don’t think they are. I think this one pictures below is used for the pillars. This one is banged up and I am missing the other. They are different threads too so I don’t think it’s a replacement

Bumping this one back up. Any ideas on what these are?

Thanks guys. Will try a supplementary ground next.

Ok. I dropped the tank again. Reconfirmed ground. Did a ground in the gauge as well. Still no change. Then I hooked up my old original sending unit which worked fine before and same result. So it is not the unit since same results. I also tested by grounding the wire between the gauge and the sending unit and it did pop to full so gauge is in order. I am at a bit of a loss right now. The new unit is from Max M. Will call YnZ tomorrow and see if they have any thoughts.
Thanks for the feedback. If any other ideas please continue to pass along.

So I am about ready to get Blanche in the road.

Finished up the running boards and trim.







Got my speedo back from Pat at Bills Speedometer.
So I was able to finish up the dash. Looks real nice. Chrome is shining! Started with the new hand throttle from Flackmaster. I had to get the others chromed to match!

I have 2 things that I am still working on.
1. Getting my turn signal to work with the LED lights. I went back to the regular bulbs while o research a bit more. Working with Gene at YnZ. All working ok with the standard bulb set up.

2. Gas gauge is not registering. I grounded it yesterday but still not recognizing volume. When I turn the key gauge pegs hard below empty. When I turn it off it returns to empty. I had to adjust the sending unit because it did not fit the tank. I may end up getting a new sending unit as Don did and get the 115.

My goal was to get her running in time for my daughter’s graduation and I did it! My mom wants to drive to the the ceremony.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the wives out there!

Cheers

Thanks Don. Will try that. Was working fine prior to the work. But looking to try anything at this point.

So it looks like my gas gauge is not working. I pulled the tank down and added a ground wire thinking that my do it but no luck!

Any other thoughts?

Thanks Bob for the post and the phone call. Yes a very tight fit, but i got it in. I adjusted the wires to com in from the underside which freed up some space.
Unfortunately, the new Knob i got must have been adjusted, as now my "L" will be almost on its side, which is unfortunate. I don't think i am able to adjust. feels like the knob is on there pretty solid.
