I only replaced the needle. The guage was never removed. Thanks for the suggestion. Rob

After replacing the centre circuit board in my 77 the low fuel light is always on (yes, even with a full tank of gas). Any suggestions on what might be causing this? :confused Thanks

The Vortec heads were not the only change...sorry if I was misleading. The engine was pretty much stock when I bought it a few years ago, except that the 77 L48 engine was bored to a 355 and had a different cam. The HP at that time was 216HP/230ft-lbs of torque. I then replaced most of the...
