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
