Gas gauge problems.

I have a '73 K10 with passenger side single tank. My gas gauge is on about 3/4 tank and never moves. Any ideas where to start trouble shooting?

Thanks,
Andrew

Most likely a bad or stuck sending unit, a sunk float will usually leave the gas gauge on Empty.

Re: Gas gauge problems.

if you can ground the sending wire should go to E
left off should go over full
and check the ground back there,may wana add a temp one just to test even
