Fuel Gauge troubleshooting
Can anyone give me some suggestions or hints as to troubleshooting a faulty fuel gauge reading? My '71 SB conv. has a fuel gauge that will not read more than about 1/2 full when the gas tank is filled. I know there's a sending unit but I'm not sure if I have to worry about a fuel gauge vibrator? Since I'm on a tight budge I'd rather not just replace the sending unit unless I was sure that was the problem. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, forgot about "Speedy Jim" website. I have it 'bookmarked' too.
It's already answered a couple of questions during the first few seconds of perusing the article. I wondered why one Online store offers a float that doesn't look like the one offered by another Online store. At least now I know which one to order if necessary. Thanks all. Steve D. '71 SB conv.
