Check the area around the sender. Look at the 'locking ring' that holds it
on. Where the wire attaches. Mine needed to be cleaned and now works great.

Yep!!! Just dealt with this for weeks. Check your grounds especially at the
tank. You may have to pull the sender out and clean the ring that holds it
in. That is what grounds the system and it gets dirty with road grime. Let
me know what you find.

If you put an ohm meter between the lead from the gauge to the sending unit
you should get a reading between 0 and 90 OHM with the ignition on. 0 would
be an empty tank 90 a full tank . Using a floor jack lower and raise the
back of the car. If you get different readings the sending unit is
Never do resistance readings with current flowing through the
wire. Resistance is measured with the key off, voltage with key on.

I need a photo of the back of a Chevelle fuel gauge. I need to know where
the ceramic block goes, the insulator and the wire connectors. They should
all be the same up to 1985.

Here is a pic of a Temp Gauge from lectric limited Faq pagesI couldn't find a fuel gauge. I usually do my searches by Googling IMAGES instead of web searches. That way you can see what your looking for !
Below is a diagram of how a typical temperature gauge should be wired.
Well, lately every single day something has broken and today is no
exception. I just went out and started the El Camino and the fuel gauge went
way past full about half-way through the temperature light area. This is the
first time this has ever happened. I'm hoping it's just a symptom of the
usually that indicates a bad ground. My truck does it all the time, comes and goes.

Its certainly possible that the tank and/or the gauge were

Check the ground
wire. If it's like mine, it goes from the tank to either a nearby frame
or underbody sheet metal. Make sure the wire is there, and that it makes
good contact. You may need to wire
