I put a new fuel sender in now the fuel gauge works.
I have put 300 miles on it so far quite the workout. My dad finally drove it what a grin.
He said he felt like he was 15 again when his grampa taught him to drive. He can't get over the sound of first gear and how it is a way back machine .I did order a new 4 bolt Chevy from summit and some fun stuff not that its going in the 38 but if I do it doesn't hurt to start collecting and building.
