Re: Shark's '74 just a fun truck
Truck is happy with the new water pump, no more coolant drips everywhere.
Pass side gas tank/gauge appears to be working decently. Driver's side(brand new sender, tested pre-install), pegs over full. Need to check wiring again.... Arg. |

Re: Shark's '74 just a fun truck
Success!!
Multiple issues with the drivers side wiring from sender. Where it passes through the frame rail, it was pinched, possible open or short to frame. Fixed that. While I was putting tank back in the connector came off. Luckily you can reach it just barely, clipped it on to the post on the sender, could feel it was loose. Tightened it up with needle nose, and now it's solid, and my gas gauge works!!! Also removed the hood insulation, it was 1/2 falling down. And finally, front wheel bearing nut needed about an 1/8th of a turn to tighten and remove some play. |

Re: Shark's '74 just a fun truck
Had a couple days of bad luck.
First speeding ticket in 20 years. Sheesh. Not even a warning. Yesterday ran out of gas, again... The guage is fixed I think. But it appears to be pulling gas from passenger tank when the switch is set to drivers. Anyone ever have a faulty selector valve that pulls fuel from both sides? This is second time that I thought the pass tank had gas in it, but it was empty. Driver's side seems to be working ok. |
