Re: 1966 C-10 build

So heres a real quick one.. Fuel gauge nightmare:
So I have a new tank new sending unit and new wiring.
The fuel tank has a couple gallons in it... the gauge reads full?? I am like WTF.

So of course I screwed something up right?

I spend a couple hours last night and most of this morning taking everything apart making jumper wires, checking grounds, making sure everything is good and still when I turn on the key it goes straight to full...

I take the sending unit out and am standing at the back of the truck messing with it when I look through the back window and its working again... I am like WTH now?







They put a stop for the arm to fall on when the tank is near empty and yes of course it grounds out and shows full tank..... Dam rocket science I tell you.. needless to say that stop has now been conveniently tweeked out of the way and the arm bent just slightly to keep it from grounding out and now the gauge works perfectly... LOL glad I pulled the wiring harness out and double checked every wire from the starter to the tail lights...
