Phil,
I have a 59 Sprite with exactly the same problem. I now also need to
know
how to put my fuel gauge back together. If you sort this out please let me
know.
List,
Hey, anybody know how a fuel gauge is supposed to look on the inside. I
have a fine copper wire on the left side that now appears to go nowhere.
For the record, in my case, the fuel sender is new, the wire harness is
new, and the gauge was checked out.
I would appreciate any useful info.

The Journey, not the destination, becomes a source of wonder.
