Re: Gramma's Car: the new project!
BTW, all this launching and bouncing around - my fuel tank sender just pooped out and is reading 3 o'clock. If I disconnect the electrical connection and ground the wire in the trunk, the gauge works again. I guess that means it's the sender...Oh, and they don't make them for 1975 Firebirds. Only 1976 and newer or 74 and older. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Re: Gramma's Car: the new project!
The 74-74 Camaro/Firebird sender is made of unobtanium (no one reproduces the correct version as they have a different dual line routing than the 76 to 81 units. You can make a 76-81 work with some creating cutting nad reflaring.
One of the guys at PY thread indicated the "3 o'clock" fault is a common problem and has to do with the internal ground strap for the sender, the metal strap that grounds the meter float assembly inside the tank. It was kind of funny because the solutions all referred back to my "derusting" thread and another use for the liquid deruster. The only problem is that you have to remove the sender to soak it. Oh, well, another day another challenge...
