The fuel gauge did not work when I bought the car, but it was a project on the previous owner’s list. He had a replacement sending unit in the trunk of the car. It’s a little tricky to know when to tackle the replacement—the gas tank has to be less than half full, otherwise gas will spill out when the old unit is removed. But, how to know what’s in there if the gauge is not working? If you can figure that out, the rest is pretty simple.
Good simple and easy to see pictures. Love your bird. Just recently acquired a black 64. If you can please tell me what size wheels and tires you have on it. Mine has skirts on it like yours. Thanks, Mike
HI Michael,
The wheels are 15″ x 7″ with a -5mm offset. Going from memory here, but the tires I believe are 215-70R 15. With the skirts on, they rub a bit, and of course, the speedometer is off by a lot with the extra diameter.
Thanks for the excellent pics. My 66 is not working now so I’ll probably check the wiring. Be nice with access through the trunk.
Not possible to see pictures.
Yeah, sorry. The good people at Photobucket lost them and I haven’t gotten around to taking the page down.
