My fuel gauge in my 61 Apache pegs past full all the time. I checked at the tank and there's 12 volts on the sender and the ground is good. Anyone have any ideas on what to check before I take the dash apart again? Thanks

Agreed, it is most likely the sending unit. Is it possible that the flat piece of metal that runs down inside of the sending unit has become disconnected as they often do. Take the unit out of the tank and take a look.
