>Next thanks for the advice on the gas gauge permanently reading full that caused me to come to a halt in the midst of what was a wonderful drive in the Healey. 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.<br>
