    Back to the subject at hand - before you go investing a lot of time and money into trying to (a) find a new sending unit or (b) trying to get your rebuilt, get the gas out of the tank and pull the existing unit. Ground it to the tank, turn the switch on, and operate it by hand to see if the gauge works. If it does, then investigate the float. Most of the older cars use a brass float that for whatever reason, fails over time and fills with gas. Then your gauge reads empty all the time, when it is not. A replacement float, plastic or brass, can be had for around 15 bucks. I have fixed the sending unit in my 71 Chevy truck and in my 63 Country Sedan like this. It is worth a shot to check it first.

    By the way, if it reads full all the time, then it's not the float, but I would recommend checking the ground closely at that point before replacing it.

    Go back and crawl under the rock you came from. No one wants to listen to your B.S...moron.

    Thanks for devoting the time you allegedly don't have for this forum to now try breaking a Guiness record for posting. Nobody is presently listening to me, since they can't hear me. So it's evident who's the B.S. moron. The next post will be even-numbered. Go for it:sarcasticclap:

    Joe, on behalf of the rest of the forum members, I apologize for this infantile dialogue you've been experiencing. Please know this is usually a friendly place, and what you've witnessed here is out of character for us.

    Boys! Be quiet and sit down! (I bet I say that 20x a day from the driver's seat of my school bus!) Seems appropriate here too, lol.

    Welcome Joe!
