jmcap Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Hi Guys and Gals? (You never know )With all the snow and frigid temps. all I can do is wait and think about what needs to be done to my 69 Cutlass covered outside. Have diagnosed and prepared for all issues but this one: The fuel needle is pinned to beyond full always. Thinking its the ground or is it the sending unit itself? Thanks and can't wait for Spring.

Larry W Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Be careful when repairing a bad ground. A simple fix on my '63 Galaxie many moons ago, was to run a ground wire from the flanged lip on the gas tank to anywhere on the underbody of the car. Just drill a hole and attach the terminal ends of the wire with a sheet metal screw. Worked great! Then, a month or two later, during a snow storm I got a flat tire. I went to the trunk to reach the spare tire and it wouldn't budge. Assuming it was frozen to the trunk floor, I used the jack handle to pry it loose. That's when I discovered that I had drilled and screwed the sidewall of the spare to the floor of the trunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcap Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 Thanks to all. You are reconfirming my thought of its cause. When weather gets better I will check. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
