Gas gage can not sit still
I have a 1971 Olds Cutlass Convertible with a gas gage that can not sit still. The needle on the gage will move back and forth about 10 degrees. I am thinking grounding issue and cleaned up the ground contacts near the tank with no luck.
Would appreciate any suggestions on how to settle the gage down. |

maybe your float is shot. Drop the tank and have the sending unit rebuilt. It comes right out with a wooden dowel and a rubber mallet.

My car has a similar problem. Then again, with gas prices so high it doesn't really matter how much fuel is in my tank since the car sits all of the time.
 Actually, I get to drive the Olds today so I can go buy an engine hoist. Hopefully I will be swapping in the 455 and TH 400 by the end of the summer.
