Fuel guage randomly just stopped working today and the needle is all the way at the bottom right now. I filled up my tank about 30 miles ago so I do know their is gas in there.

Where do I begin?

Any help and/or tips would be greatly appreciated.

your gonna need to drop the tank. there is a wire that connects the sending unit to the float. its possible that you can sodder it back but not likely. just go to www.50resto.com and order a new one. make sure you get the float out of the gas tank if it isnt still connected.
