Or....drive it till it runs outta gas and then pour in the extra couple of
gallons you've been saving in the back seat for just such an occasion. If
you jack the car with the side with the sender on the high side, that small
amount of gas in the tank will slosh to the other side and you can pull the
sender without a gas bath. A golden opportunity to install that in tank
electric pump that's been collecting dust in your spares department.

Hi, I've been daily driving for a week now in Lisa my 1964 Coupe. Awesome.
The fuel gauge reads empty but the tank is full. How to trouble shoot this?
Is there a fuse? -- IV

Corvair fuel gauges work opposite of most....
1 in your case the float may have fallen off the arm or sprung a leak and
sunk to the bottom.
2 Get under the right front of your car and pull the wire OFF the sending
unit at the tank..
Turn key to ON and gauge should read over the full mark... if so...you
must drain the tank and remove sender.
If not.... get back to us with results.
