Thank you JTB and GM and others for help regarding my fuel temp guage.
The guage is functional, the wires are still present and functional, I
just need to attach my temp sender and plug it in. As for the fuel pump
problem, the fuel pump went bad (again after 30 miles) so I replaced
it. If this one goes I will start looking for bigger and better
problems
On that note, can you dead head an electric fuel pump? Someone
at the car parts store said that you must have a return line to the
tank, however, the Holley that I have does not have a return line
connector.
So I started my Brik up and it ran like a charm. (It's funny how poorly
my car ran without gas) But after two minutes I saw smoke (billowing
smoke). Shut the car off and remembered that I hadn't replaced the
last two valve cover bolts. Who all has removed the valve covers (to
replace gaskets or put nice chrome valve covers on?) When I put them
back I cannot get the last bolt on each side in (the ones underneath
the window sill. Any helpful ideas?
Once I fix this, I am back on the road (a death trap but at least a
mobile death trap)
