Fuel Gauge Problem... or Not?
94 firebird v6 original
96 lt1 w/ t56 & pcm from camaro ss.
Still have the v6 cluster, and the fuel gauge is pinned past full. I did a search but it seemed like there was no defined answer. Well... for my issue atleast.
Anyways, I checked the ground, but I was talking to some old hot rod guys and they said the gauge would read Empty if it was a ground issue. Then they said that it would be a hot/power issue. Another guy said something may be shorted, and/or disconnected..
What should I do? This is my first lt1 and I've unfortunitly learned about the dreaded optispark the hard way. I just want to get this resolved, instead of filling my tank after 125miles of driving...
edit: I guess I should of asked what set of 20's would look SIQQQQ on my car to get some views..... sad.

Thanks for the reply's guys.
I'll check the sending unit tomorrow when I have access to a lift.
I might pull the dash right now and test my power leads... Couldn't hurt to check... Just in case.
