Can any of you guys tell me how the gas gauge is supposed to function in my '32 BB truck? I've cleaned-up and re-soldered a tiny crack in the TANK unit, and removed a "whittled wooden bung" from what appears to be a venting tube. however the tiny steel line (running to the gauge) is rusted off and clogged shut. So I will need to replace it. But it would be helpful to understand just HOW it works. I'm now wondering if the gauge will still work. Can you help? Also, is the tallest tube on the sending unit (and coming out thru the bottom) supposed to be an OPEN air vent? I can't find any drawings or literature on this anywhere. Thanks. Dave
