fuel gauge folly

Was able to get an aftermarket fuel/send unit from Van's a couple years ago. Knowing that they don't read very well, I set the send unit up outside of the gas tank over the rear end. Then I proceeded to bend the float arm to read 1/2 tank, then checked the dash gauge, adjust some more check dash gauge again.

Then some fine tune bending at the end for empty and full settings checking the dash gauge. Looking inside the tank, and considering the angle of the mount on the tank to get the swing right.

Took some goofing around to get it pre-set before final install and filling tank with gas.

All worked out well at the end correctly following the proper gas levels in the tank.

Had I installed it without adjusting it, it would have been way off.
