Jimmi -

I'm in the middle of replacing the fuel gauge on my '54. Hope it lasts longer than yours. You may have also lost the ground between the back of the gauge and the inside of the gauge cluster housing. Should be sanded shiney bright.

>> Question: When the ign is off, does (did) your fuel gauge read EMPTY or did the needle settle somewhere near the middle. The gauge that I bought from the Truck Shop settles a little past 1/2 full in the box before hookup and when hooked up with the power off.

Good luck with your gauge.
