Gas Gauge quit working

Yet another issue with my 67 Coronet. I did not start nor move the car for the last 2 weeks. So today I went in the garage to start it up and take it for a drive. Look down to check the gauges and lo and behold the gas gauge wasn't working. It had 3/4 of a tank 2 weeks ago. Itried putting gas in it but the gauge still didn't move. Any ideas were to start looking for the problem ??

Hmmm...I had that problem with my Duster from time to time. Now, I'm not sure what the back of your gauge cluster is like, but on the Duster it has that gawd awful plug and pin set up. When I lose the gas gauge, I wiggle the plug and get my connection back. I plan on solving this with a new cluster gauge and harness next year from Fastlanewest. You might also check the connection to the fuel sending unit at the tank. Somebody here will probably have a better answer for you.
