Fuel gauge & sender resistance issue. HELP

LOL Did not know that. I remember Model A Fords, my Dad had a couple when I was a kid, --they had the gauge built right into the tank that formed the dashboard and I remember the unique "spare tire" operated window washer in the bugs.

This was taken when I was about 4?. My GRANDFATHER was younger then than I am now. This would have been about 51--52

Gramps on the left, my sister, now gone from brain cancer, me, and Dad. The reason I look so depressed here is that I have just received either the first or second of one 'ELL of a spankin. Look carefully at the passenger side headlight. It's broken out.

I had asked my Dad, "how do those work?"

I believe he gave me some really silly answer like "there's a little man in there with a lantern."

WELL!! I just HAD to meet that "little man." Luckily, for me, I had a toy carpenter set, and in those days, a toy carpenter set REALLY worked. You got a REAL hammer and a REAL saw, they were just SMALL.

So I had taken my toy hammer, looked carfully for Mom or the neighbors, and bashed out the lens. Of course I had not checked throughly enough, and got caught. The thing is, I don't remember if this was the FIRST time I did that or the SECOND time, because Dad had fixed the lens quickly and I never DID get to see that "little man!!!"
