Hello, I have a 1964 Ford 2000, 6V positive ground, in which I've installed an aftermarket Atlantic brand fuel sender and gauge mainly due to the stock sender being severely corroded and not working.
For the life of me I can't get the gauge to read correctly! When I install the gauge into the dash it grounds the gauge case and instantly reads 1/2 full all the time. When I hook up the wire from the sender there is no change at all. With the gauge out of the dash panel it seems to work better but still not accurate. It seems the gauge is finding ground to the chassis before it finds ground to the sender. I've hooked it up with every possible combination to no avail. I've even tried another new gauge - the same 1/2 full reading when hooked up to 6 volt power and chassis ground.
Has anyone else had issues installing aftermarket fuel gauges??
Thanks,
Bill
