Hello All
The gas guage in my '61 Chevy Apache doesn't register or doesn't register correctly. When the motor is started the guage only goes up
to the "E" (empty mark. I don't remember how much fuel was in the tank prior to the issue but I added five gallons of gas which did not
change the read on the guage.
What would you suggest how I should proceed to resolve the issue?
Thanks

There is a Tech Tip that covers troubleshooting the gas gauge, wiring and the sending unit. I would suggest testing before you replace anything. Here is alink.
