So the gas gauge has been a sticking point. Because it's kind of important. (was going to ask if anyone had a good stick layout), i have been going back to it double checking everything. Yes, the fireman's pole had rust and it was stuck at the bottom. Yes the ohm reading were correct and i cleaned the tiny wires. at first I had nothing, then the gauge was pegged constantly. I went to take someone for a ride last night and it seems to be working. Viola!!! but it does go all over the place when you move the car. Is that normal?
I'm hoping more things start to fix themselves. Maybe leave milk and cookies out? Beer and a sandwich? Kevin |

That is not right. Sounds like resistance is unpredictable across the length of the wire. If you had rust on parts there is probably other bits of corrosion around. I think that might be easier to deal with. Do you have access to a sonicator?
