What's with these simple mechanical devices? My 64 convertible did/does
the same. Fill it up and the gauge would only go to 3/4, sometimes
slightly above. Checked the gauge, it is fine. Paid $225 for a new
sending unit from a Chrysler parts guy In Temecula (the sending unit was
specific for Imperial), put it in and - same thing - no difference.
Started reading about grounding the gas tank - the tank was nicely painted
as well as the straps - so, I ran a ground wire from the frame to the
sending unit tang that sticks out next to the fuel line.
Bang! Same thing - won't show full. Now what? Actually, it doesn't
really matter anymore. The car sucks up the gasoline so quickly, that it
would never be on the full mark for more than ten minutes, anyway.
