Fuel guage inop-any ideas?
My fuel guage started acting up intermittently and now it won't work at all. How do I check to see if it is the sending unit or my guage acting up?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

follow the steps shown in the service manual: resistance checks at the connector on ttop of the tank (to check sender and gage separetly).
On my car the resistance checked fine. Removed the sender from the tank and found the float had cracked and filled with gas, so that the gage always read empty.

Problem solved, should have checked the obvious first. Some jackleg taped the wires together when the warlbo fuel pump was installed. Hope the rest of the work they did is better than that!! I guess this is why many people choose to do their mods themselves.
