Guage Problem

[InSearchofAk5]

Anyone know how to fix the guel guage and spedometer gauge they both just sit on 0mph and 0 gas

1. Put gas in the tank.

2. Start it up, put it in gear and hit the gas.

But seriously, the gauges themselves aren'y easily fixable. What you need to doo is check your wiring for the fuel gauge and ensure that your speedo cable is hooked up and in good condition. Depending on what you find, you may need to replace the gauges, the fuel sender, speedo cable or do more troubleshooting. Anyone else have any ideas?

I started at the guages and worked my way back. Found better gauges at wrecking yard. Did a lot cleaning and rewiring. The Haynes manual has some decent wiring diagrams. Get a new speedo cable and check the ground on the fuel guage, might need a new sending unit.
