Re: Fuel gauge wiring and voltages

I had to buy all new parts for the ignition switch since there was none when I got the truck so I have that new pigtail connector and switch. I know all about the brittle wiring/connectors from the chevelle. Had an issue with the solenoid jumping out randomly and thought it was the starter. Changed it and didn't solve the issue. I called it quits for the night and was putting tools away when I turned around and saw flames coming out of the dash and up the windshield. I knew exactly what was wrong right then. I disconnected the battery real quick and hit the dash with a fire extinguisher. It melted all the wires together by the switch and melted the dash which on the 68 was square so now you couldn't see the gauge in that corner. I had to take a torch to it and slowly heat it up and mold it back out the way.
Thank you for the help on this fuel gauge.
