Fuel Gauge Problem
Hi Gang,
Just bought my first Corvette. 1984 model.
Here is my problem. The fuel gauge always says it is full. Is it a problem with the sensor in the tank or the dash unit. The car runs great and has a greenwood body kit on it but it makes me nervous about running it out of gas somewhere.
thanks

You're sending unit needs the fuel level float arm cleaned

I'd verify the wiring and dash first. Ground the sending wire and make sure the Dash goes to Empty. If not the wire is open or the Dash is the problem. Otherwise, the sending unit needs to be rebuilt or replaced.
