I have just rewired my '64 Econo and have most things working, however the gas gauge has never worked since I've owned it. I have a new sending unit and of course all new wire. (The gauge never actually worked but used to come up to about a quarter of a tank from empty when the ignition was on - prior to my rewire.)
I've never tested a gauge before but I hooked a 12v line to one of the terminals and grounded the other, but no movement of the needle. (I reversed the contacts as well, but no luck.) I also have another gas gauge from a parts van I had, but again no difference when I tried to test that one as well. So either I'm testing it wrong or both gauges are bad, and either scenario is possible.
Any tips? Thanks!
