yes Frosty it went from empty to a little over 1/4 full. not really sure where the short would be at if the gage works and the sending unit works when bench testing it. Would be nice to have is all.When I had the dash off and repainted and stuff I got my heater to work lol..Won't be long and we can fire them up and break the cabin fever.Had the carb all dialed in and timed Runs a little rough when cold but it's been around 25 here but settles down as it warms up

Hey Frosty hope your staying healthy your right only get so many mpg's was just thinking of getting it to stay running smoothly. Got the engine running pretty good and the interior is now complete except for the carpet .Only problem now is my gas gage. Had two rebuilt one I bought and the orginal one but they said there is something wrong with it had it checked again the guy that rebuilt bench tested and said it was good.The gage itself tested good and they said it must be short somewhere but nobody there knew how to chase it down.Even bought a new lead wire so the hunt goes on to find a wire guy

now that I have updated my distributor to HEI and rebuilt carb and time to change my spark plugs. Should I stay with the standard plug that it use to run on or is there a better plug I could use for better running and gas mileage.

will let him know thanks.. not sure if you know but his has a long stem like for his horn and switching to a GS and he was going to solder the horn wires because they are longer then most I think he can be able to plug them into the back of the new one..

Hey guys hope everyone is staying healthy..Not for me this time but for my brother who has a 68 skylark.He is trying to disconnect his wiring on his steering column to replace his steering wheel .He says it should have to go though the bottom of the column but doesn't know if it plugs into the wires going to fuse box or if he can disconnect it elsewhere..Any help would be great Thanks Terry

looking at the wire and looks like they didn't plug it in for some reason so plugged it in went from full to empty to 1/4 tank can that wire be grounded or is it a seperate wire for the ground

Did all that checked the ohm's and hooked a fuel gage up it and works fine when bench testing but once he dropped it into the tank he sais no power to the unit

Do have the orginal sending unit that was rebuilt.Do have power going all the to wires at the unit but when pluged in doesn't work.Did take it back to the gage guy he benched tested and said it was working but watched and he moved it by hand thinking he he was forcing the float to go from empty to full and when inside the weight of the gas isn't letting it work right.

Hi they did and has power to the gage when key is on but when plug into the sending unit stays at fuel he thinks maybe the float is bad and won't move

Been fighting with the sending unit the garage says it is bad the guy that rebuilt tested it and was good garage says has power fuel gage works but he said when he plugs into the sending unit won't work not sure what is going om

yes have the assembly manual will have to check.. here are some pic's of the new dash

Thanks Frosty would that also go for the fuel gage? new board and rebuilt fuel gage and still not working there is a brown/tanish wire that we didn't hook up and wondering if that could be it.Pic coming looks like a new interior.Got everything else working even have the heater working now,,,,

Hey frosty yes I needed the basic dash the one with gages will not fit..But here is the question now I have the dash out and new one being installed plus the insturment panel is out and replacing the circuit board .I had the fuel gage restored also but no wondering the fuel gage run off the board or does a wire go to it also.We found a brown wire hooked to it and wondering if someone tried to jump wire it .I did notice on the board there was a burn mark where it was bad and now think maybe that wire burned the boad. Thanks Terry

here ate the pics of the panels.. putting in the dash next

I found one on e-bay and says standard and not for extra gages and not sure what they mean

Hey guys yea do some bussiness with Franks they are really good .Got my interior panels from him then had them painted need to get pics to show you.But would rather have new electronic stuff.I have them ordered but the back log is taking for ever not holding me from driving just the interior lights and fuel gage.Finally got a sending unit and had it rebuilt so looks like either it isn't getting power or the gage is bad..

Hey guys just wondering if there is anothe place besides OPGI to find a circuit board..Ordered one in early July and still on back order.Had one on e-bay but won't work for my 69 Bonneville Thanks Terry

Hey Frosty will be sending pics of the door panels and dash pad just waiting for an opening so my autobody guy put the dash in for me.But in the mean time took the car in and had a new heater core put in plus a rebuilt fuel sending unit in.Have a problem though seems the gas gage isn't working he thinks it is either bad or wiring is goofed up and wants he to give the whole cluster to him when I have the pad off.But I reached in behind the cluster and felt around and seem there is no wires to the fuel gage. And wondering if you happen to know which color wires go there?I seen a few wires hanging there but not sure.I can get at it without pulling the whole thing out...Thanks

Think i found it.Looks like a channel that the stop slides down with a bolt at the botton.I was kind in hurry because the car was going over to have the fuel sending unit out in.I did lossen it but the window still stooped figuring that after sitting there for 50yrs might need some wd40 to help it along plus I noticed two bolts at the top holding it in place may have to drop the channel down

I think I found it.there is a bolt at the bottom fron part of the door and it looks like a stop on the window that goes down a channel and at the bottom of channel it is solid and seem that when roll the window down it stops there so gonna take the bolt out and see if that channel slips out the way.Hope it works... oh yea found a fuel sending unit and had it rebuilt gonna have it installed tommorrow..

I tried to feel all over and just can't find it.. have found the stop at the top of the door but not the bottom ..

door panels are off and waiting to have new carpet put on them so replacing the window felts.. and can't get the window to lower enough to get to the screws.On u tube they keep showing the bolt in the center od the door that is slotted and to just either loosen or take it off and the window will go down farther to get to them.But when I did it wouldn't go any more then waht it did before.I reached inside and there isn't any stop seems like it more of an adjustment slot.Felt around more and can't seem find where it might be located.I figure on U tube they are showing a different door then from a B body ..Looked and yep they are showing a G body.

Just took the panels to have the carpet on the bottoms replaced.Surpized how good they came out after being painted.Am now repplace the felt strips but the problem is I can'r lower the window enough.I thought the bolt was the one where it is slotted so loosened and even took it out but the window didn't go any farther..Is a bolt on the botton of the door the one?U tube keeps showing the slotted hole..

They were really good and helpful.I seen them on their site and they said to e-mail for an enlarged pic and sure enough a hrs later got it.They detailed everything right and wrong with them and told me anything can be dyed or painted.Went a head and ordered them and they were sent the same day got them and packaged nice.Have only one small tear aonf the side of one but can fix that with some epoxy

Hey frosty just an up found some really good panels at Franks Pontiac and then new panel carpet at Ames gonna have a guy dye them along with the dash pad I got ..
