Help, self confessed non mechanically minded person requiring help!!!
My gauges dont read quite right!
I had an EFi B20 engine in my 1972 ES, I heard about a few problems with the EFi unit and wanted and still do want to learn how to tinker myself, hence I had it changed to the carb system instead.... mmmm
I have a little issue that seems to be occuring now that did not before, the water temp, oil temp and fuel gauge now seem to be telling me that the reading are higher than they should..... eg water goes to boiling within a mile of starter and running her, but she has been temp gunned and it seems to be normal....... eg oil, so I hear, should very rearly move on shorter journies yet within 15 miles she is up to av temp....i believe this is not normal......... eg fuel gauge, when she is filled up she will remain at full for 70 miles and then will be dry in the next 60.. I am aware this should be better and I do have her booked in for a full tune etc next week.
Voltage regulator.....i believe not as the needles remain steady, sender units have been changed.....i believe for the correct senders via Brookhouse and he is sensible so there.............
I know that most of you are more intelligent than me in these matters but does anyone know of this issue? Can anyone help with the diagnosis?
