yes



Figured I'd let that one simmer a bit. I had to run out for a bit. I really didnt get pulled over. I picked my ride up from a local vette shop after getting the convertible top re-covered. Turns out, my gas gauge no longer works

Talk about feelin like an idiot. I called up the guy from the shop and he sent out one of his cronies w/ a can, what a guy. I was no more than a mile out, stuck, side of the road. Cop was there shortly after. Couldnt resist that pic.

Maybe you need to solder the connections.

Funny part is... I've given people crap before about NOT soldering...

I have no idea what the problem is... have yet to get the time to take a look at it. The guage USED to work just fine... before I put it away for the winter that is.

But seriously.. the gauge is stuck a little below half tank. If one of the connections came loose, it would read nothing right? I'm thinking the float could be stuck?
