Are you leaving your new ground wire connected too? Steve,
Yes. That was the first
thing I for the job this morning was scrub both fuel tube ends and use a
heavy gauge copper wire fastened with SS hose clamps, then I began the 'testing'
and those results printed in the thread earlier occurred....I understand that
the rubber gasket theoretically eliminates the contact with the tank, but it was
very strange to get those gauge readings so consistently with the locking ring
holding/not holding the sender in place at the top of the tank....it just may be
the gauge is working as I do have a full tank
and this is just a case of a plumber over-analyzing and messing
with 'current' unfamiliar....LOL....still curious though about any
thoughts on the condition of the gauge, all things considered, for I do have a
rebuilt cluster [with better face/chrome that I have been meaning to get
to] as well as a new separate NOS fuel gauge I could do separately, but to
do that means pulling the cluster anyway.......in a couple weeks I will be able
to take her out and burn some fuel, then we'll see...
