fuel gauge help needed
71 firebird esprite with big clock idiot light cluster.When key is off the fuel gauge reads 1/2 full,when I turn on the ignition key the needle goes to 3 oclock instantly.It has always worked and after sitting 6 months it is acting up.Is this a sending unit or float or what ? I pulled the sending unit ground and cleaned but no change.Thanks for any help.
