Re: Renovation project from Kuwait
A little word of advice a good man:
Now is a good time to address the wavy fuel gauge needle, when you have easy access to the tank and everything is taken apart. I saw the tank and it reminded me that they very poor baffles in these old trucks. If you're going for a completely stock restoration, with no visible aftermarket parts, then the best way to do it would be to use a tank off of a much newer truck. There are some that have much better baffles. 2010 and newer is what I would use. If you don't then the needle on the gauge will always be moving and never give an accurate reading of the fuel level. |

my 78 was bouncing the gauge when driving,it stopped when I changed the gauge(cause i went idiot to gauges/tach) I also had to add a ground wire to the cluster plug for the fuel gauge in my 79 i changed the tank and sender to after market ,no baffles no bounce may wana look into adding grounds about a foot from the cluster plug.....all go down to one truck is looking good!
