1975 Fuel Gage Problem
I have a 1975 4 spd Vette. This past week, I installed a new radio antenna. After completing the installl of the antenna, I noticed that my fuel gage was no longer working. Is it possible that I accidentally disconnected a ground wire or something as I was pulling the old antenna cable out of the car? Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

All the grounds are clustered together at the back of the car, and maybe one of the wires was damaged when you installed the antenna.
Start with a jumper ground wire attached to the frame and connect the other end to the ground on the tank sender. If the gauge works, trace the sender ground wire to its next connection and connect the jumper there. Check and continue on moving away from the tank till you find the bad wire.
