So, I got home today from spending some quality time with the in-laws...... and decided to start with swapping out the sending unit that I got from Tony and had Kim rebuild. (Thanks fellas!)

Gauge works great so far!! It did last time as well until I ran the car for a few minutes and the gauge blew! I guess we will see. I need a bit more 1/4" braided line for the fuel regulator that I am installing. Should be able to fire her up again tomorrow night. After all is checked out and nothing is leaking fuel, hopefully I can rebleed the brakes and get that issue sorted.

I'll let y'all know about the fuel gauge tomorrow.
 
Progress is a wonderful thing.
 
Well, got all the rubber lines converted to braided and installed my fuel regulator. I don't like the bracket that I made for it, so I will have to ask a friend to make one for me at his work.

I was able to start the car and run it a bit watching the new fuel gauge set up. Hey Kim, it works great!

Hopefully I can bleed the brakes and take her for another drive this weekend. I will have to stop and fill her up and see how the gauge works during the drive. I sure hope it works out this time!

Barry - glad the sending unit still works! It was working when I pulled it out of the tank & bet its even better now that Kim's redone it!
