There was some issue with the sending unit. The tank was about 1/4 full but showed empty. I went through some testing procedures and it seemed to be working. I filled the tank to almost full, and the guage reads between 1/2 - 3/4. So it is working, but not accurately.
I guess the good thing is...
Tan wire disconnected, IGN on - dash needle goes past full
Ground wire removed - Needle goes below empty
tester between tan & black - it lights up, not dim, but not bright, needle goes to about 1/4 tank
I'm suspecting bad sending unit.
What fuse does this hook up to? my short fuse at the bottom...
I replaced my fuel tank with a kit that came with everything. Now the fuel guage isn't working, not sure if i now have a wiring issue or a problem with the new sending unit.
My question is:
There are 2 wires connected to the unit, one on the outside edge connected with a flat blade terminal...
I just put a set of side pipes, with fiberglass covers, on my 74 vette. Just wondering if anyone else has done this and what it looks like, they look good, but I can see the pipe below the bottom of the cover, is this normal? or should threy tuck completely into the fiberglass cover?
thanx...
I need to replace the horn button on my 1974 Corvette coupe. It has T&T steering column. I was given one that was supposed to be from a 74 but the diameter was smaller. The diameter of the one I need to replace is 3.875", what year used that diameter horn cap?
There are a couple companies that take your origianl radio and put in all modern internals, so you get a modern stereo while keeping the stock appearance.
This is the fan I'm using on my 74.

I just picked up a set of factory original kelsey aluminum wheels with tires for $400, tires only have about 1000 miles on them, my question is:
How do you read the date stamp on the back? what do the letters and numbers stand for?
Option YJ8 cast aluminum wheels appeared on early 1974 option lists, but chevy records indicate none were sold.
Here's the link to confirm it, read about half way down, the second line under Base Engine:
