awesome . I will be doing this as soon as i get paid next.

Ok so I have a 74 260z and since ive owned this car the fuel gauge has been reading way below the empty point. so I was looking for a new gauge and was told check the wiring to the sender unit. so i started testing for voltage to the sender and got none. so i moved up to see if the gauge was getting power and it is. so i check with the gauge plugged in to see if the yellow signal wire is getting power through the gauge. on initial start up it sends 10-12 volts. after idling for a couple seconds the voltage signal start jumping from .8 to 8 volts. with my voltmeter hooked up to it the gauge reading didnt change.so does this sound like a faulty gauge? also the ampmeter when the car is running stays in the dead center. it never moves?

awesome please someone else chime in. sorry not knocking your response id just prefer a second to your answer.

Ok I recently am being introduced to carbs. I have only owned fuel injected cars up to this point. I recently purchased a 74 260 with an l24 with su carbs. I found on the rear carb that the fuel line that ran from the float to the needle had a pin whole leak. So i replaced that vaccum looking line with some fuel line and well now the car has a horrible throttle response and idle. My assumption is the previous owner adjusted the carb to make it idle good without noticing the leak. Can I please find someone in the SanDiego area to help me adjust my carbs and teach me so I can do it myself next time??????
