[Healeys] Thanks to the list

On our former BJ7 I found that the best fuel gauge was a piece of
broom handle or other suitable stick with markings on it, dipped into
the tank.  You can 'calibrate' it by filling known amounts and
scribing the stick accordingly.  Only drawbacks were that you have to
get out of the car to measure and the stick smells of gasoline for a
little while.

Price?  Right.
Reliability?  Unbeatable.

It just needed a ground as recommended. The gauge is still a little erratic but I will play with it some more to see if it smooth’s out. Or does it? Are the gas gauges fairly accurate or are they just a rough guideline to gas amounts? I have a new tank, a new sender unit and new wiring.
