72 Blazer and a 402... - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I tried my hand at bending fuel line, used a 40" straight line from NAPA and cut 6" off because I could not get it the way I wanted at carb. not great but functional. I do have a question if someone can help. now that I am connecting things up I noticed the gas gauge is on 1/3 shouldn't it be on Empty?

Thanks

The brackets on the axle and the frame for the dual shocks are definatly not strong enough without extra braces on them. When I aquired my blazer the setup was very similar cept the fram mounts did have an added bracket where the axle did not. Turns out the axle brackets fatiqued at the outer weld then cracked rite down the center on top. it just took some welding but what a beach it was.... I turned it back to single shock setup after that.

I took the gas tank out to see if I have a wiring/ground problem, wires look good and after everything is undone the gauge still reads 1/3, will the gauge stay at fuel level when disconnected?
