[V8Vairs] FUEL GAUGE

[Steve Goodman]

Hello Dennis:  You got a new sender from Auto Zone?  I thought the sender
was always a dealer only item, dealers and vendors like Clarks.

> I HAVE A 65 CORSA WITH A FUEL GAUGE PROBLEM. I AM JUST ABOUT DONE WITH THE
CAR, COME TO FIND MY FUEL GAUGE IS INOP. I PULLED THE TANK UNIT , HOOKED IT
UP , AND DIDN;T WORK. I GOT A NEW ONE FROM AUTO ZONE, PLUGGED IT IN ,
GROUNDED THE UNIT AND IT WORKED JUST AS IT SHOULD. MOVING THE ARM I COULD
MOVE THE NEEDLEAS I WANTED. PUT THE NEW O RING IN SLID THE UNIT IN BEING
CARFULL TO NOT HAVE THE ARM RESTRICTED. LAT PUT THE LOCK RING ON, PUT 3
GALLONS OF GASIN , THE GAUGE READS EMPTY. NOW OUT IF THE TANK IT ALL WORKS,
BUT IN THE TANK NOTHING. I PULLED THE DASH AND RUN JUMPERS STILL NOTHING.
WHEN I TOOK IT OUT OF THE TANK AND MOVED THE ARM THE DAME WORKS. I'M NOT
SURE WHAT TO DO. ANT HELP. ALSO IS THERE A WAY TO CONVERT THE TACH TO A V8 ?
