Re: Gas gauge...???
Stupid question but I have to ask...
You did put the float back on the end of the arm didn't you? The float doesn't sound or feel like it has gas in it does it? Make sure your ground to the sending unit is good. Then maybe go to the IPVR, (if the 67 model has it-I'm sorry i can't remember) and adjust it. It's part#10804 on the back of the instrument panel in this image:
