    If the gas gauge is not working working, could be every thing is gummed up in the tank and you need to get a new insert piece which has your vent line, fuel line and floater /gas gauge. It could be several things though. Could just be a dry rotted fuel line comming out of the tank,sucking air into the line. Start at the front of the car and work your way back. Check carb filter,in line filters. Pull the fuel line going to the carb and turn the engine over a few times to see if you have fuel pressure . If the fuel pump is electric make sure you have power. If you have fuel pressure It could be that the float in the carb is stuck closed. First try tapping a couple of times on the carbs body around where the float is,if this does'nt work you'll probably end up opening the carb up to check if the float is moving freely and for any trash in the float bowl. I just went through this with my Ranchero. It is no fun.good luck buddy, hope you find the problem.
