I’ve taken the float/sending unit out. It seems to operate smoothly . But I can’t see inside,of course. When the car is at rest, I get a reading on the gauge. But once there’s movement the needle jumps around. Are replacement sending units available? Or can I take mine apart to inspect? It’s nice to have a working gas gauge. Thanks for your help.

30 Desoto cf. I replaced the wiring harness and have a great schematic. The gauge worked previously but now bounces. It settles a bit while driving but not dependable.I’ve taken the sending unit out and it seems to operate ok. I probably should check out the new wire. I’m assuming it’s good.

30 Cf. Does plumbers packing work? Square packing? What size? Thanks

My radiator cap is fairly loose, stays on ok. I want it better. Tighter. There is a screw underneath. Didn’t know where to get a replacement insides. I’ll get a picture. Thanks

Maybe someone has a good picture of one. Maybe I’ll get creative.

I got the repair kit , cut the end of the cable, slipped the new end on, gave it a couple of hits and it seems to be working fine. Now I know about speedometer cables.

There is fluid leaking below the packing nut. It seems like it’s botttomed out.Do I back off the nut and rewrap? I think a little drip is ok,but it’s getting worse. Thanks

Still trying to figure out the bouncing needle. Can the sending unit be installed wrong?

Looking for left and right cowl light brackets. I have the lights.

The gauge end of my cable is worn so I need to replace either the end or find a replacement cable. Any thoughts, thanks

Finally got it working, switched the wires on the gauge. Seems simple but I went by the schematic at first so I didn’t suspect that. It’s very jumpy. I don’t know if it’s the gauge or the sender.

At the sender or the gauge?

I can’t get my previously working gauge to work. New wire from sender to gauge. And gauge to power. But it just pegs full. I’m baffled. Thanks

Did you get your answer?

It has worked intermittently. Last time it was floating. Now nothing. The cable and ends are good. Does it need to be sent out? Any thoughts. Thanks
