Hi Gary,
For the fuel gauge, I would start with cleaning the ground wires and any
corrosion on the back of the gauge's electrical posts. A bad ground could
affect both the fuel reading and the light. After cleaning, I use bulb
grease on all electrical connections. You can pick the grease up at just
about any electrical section of a hardware store. Hope that's the problem.
Best,

Had the recently acquired 62 Tri-Carb out for a nice drive. Man, what a
sound those exhausts make!! Being fortunate to live in the Ozark Mountains
I have
some great roads for our cars and Fall here is breath taking. That is the
good. The worrisome is a noise in first gear. The closest I can describe
it as
is the sound you hear when a speedo cable needs lubrication. Kind of a
whirring sound. Very noticeable in nature. It speeds up and slows down with
the car
but only does it in first gear. Shifts fine from 1st to 2nd and so on going
up but difficult to go from 3rd to 2nd and of course no syncro in 1st coming
down. Also I fuel gauge doesn't work or light up. If I reach around behind
it
will flicker sometimes up as high as 1/4 or perhaps close to 1/2 but then
usually goes dead again with the first bump. Any suggestions on the two
items?
As always, many thanks to the group!!
