In cases where the Gasoline Gauge in the instrument cluster reads 3/4 full when the tank is completely full it may be the result of a change in calibration of the gauge due to a feed back through the ignition switch.

A new Gauge which is unaffected by the above condition went into production about 1-14-55, and is now available in Parts Stock.
