So it appears that guage spring or whatever holds the guage is a little weak.
Thanks for all the responses and help.
Only issue im dealing with now is it smelling like RAW GAS. it has a quadrajet on it that is stock and rebuilt. I dont know if its normal smell or not. ahah. I adjusted the idle and the idle mixture down a bit, but still strong gas odor.

Mine smells gassy too. After the engine warms up, it usually is hard to start (flooded). A few cranks and it will go fine but I think it's leaking gas into the intake when it's warm.
