I took my '74 2.0 out for a spin yesterday and immediately noticed that something was wrong. The gas light was constantly lit even though I just filled up the tank. Whenever I depressed the brake pedal, the fuel gauge would move to empty. The voltage is reading low (central console). When driving the car, the tach is about half what it should be. The turn signals don't work (or click). However, the car drives just fine. Could this be a fuse or something more serious?
