Doug,
Good seeing you again and talking with you at Brown's Island. Sorry to
hear about your little mishap on the way home!!
I don't know about the body parts you need but maybe I can help with the
gas gauge. Make sure you have a good ground connection between the tank and
the car body. Check the wire at the sender and make sure you are getting
power to it. If so, take the wire off and the gauge should peg in one
direction. Then short the wire to ground and the gauge should peg in the
other direction. Like someone suggested, you may have to slap the dash while
doing this and jar the gauge loose. If the gauge checks out, then your
problem is the sending unit.
Now for the mouse, I have never seen a mouse fast enough to catch a moving
Alfa. Drive the darned thing!!

Subject: [alfa] Two Tidbits
I've been getting my 77 spider ready for showing at tomorrow's Classics on the
James here in Richmond, Virginia. Two discoveries: 1) my gas gauge is dead;
and 2) a mouse made a home in my trunk.
Any advice on either, i.e., how to sort the first and how to prevent the
second?
Doug
