have you dropped your gas tank at all lately??? There should be a plug that goes to it that i beleive works the fuel gauge, you should check to see if that hasnt come unplugged, but i doubt that is the problem if you havnt messed with the tank lately.

If they worked properly before the carb swap, I would say you jiggered a wire or connection loose- or possibly yet disconnected one that should not have been disconnected?? Makes no sense multiple guages would stop working after a carb swap..

Check your fuses too.

not sure what to do about the gas guage, but my oil guage wasn't working until I double-checked the connection of the wire on the sensor. That fixed mine immediately. It looked like it was connected, but it wasn't on all the way.....probably barely hanging on by the gunk that had built up on it over the years.
