Mabe you have one of them? Gas gauge.... if it's not a fuse check the connections at the tank. Doc can tell ya how to check the gauge itself. > nice going on gettin your gremmie > Davis > > Bill Renshaw <lionwren@...> wrote: > The damn thing started right up.

Bill Id. > > > Davis, its a 1970 Hornet! Not a Gremlin. I already have a Gremmy. My Hornet is blue (well,sort of) I believe its a 232 but theres so much crud and grime on the motor I cant tell. But its got the three on the tree!! I thought that it was a sedan but its a 2 door coupe. (got so excited when I found it I about piddled like a puppy and had my head where it wasnt sapposed to be) Just like the bad assed s/c 360's. Thats why the grille is metal. I thought also that it was plastic. I wish my Gremmy had a metal grille. I am going to "try" to keep it as original as possible. Its only got 62,000 original miles on it. I would like to take it to the AMO show coming up. But that is aways away. What I need to do is get it up on stands so I can really check things out. I did notice that the lower ball joint on the p/s is going south. JUST WHAT I NEED..ANOTHER AMC! GOTTA LOVE THEM EM'! Bill Id. > > > > Yahoo! Groups Links > Yahoo!
