I am back to tweaking my 1953 DeSoto S16 V8. I believe I have the charging system working correctly. I will find out when I take it for a drive tomorrow.
The fuel gage read empty so I put about 7 gallons in it. It still reads empty so I am going to see if I can get this working. There was a very good article in the Adventures magazine but I do not know what issue it is in. I believe it could have been in the last two years so I will check those issues and probably more. Does anyone know or does anyone have any kind of index of subjects discussed in case it is a lot further back? My gage was working at that time. I believe the car sitting for a while caused this problem. Thank you in advance for any help.
I have this figured out. The sending unit was totally dead per my ohm meter. I have a replacement on the way. Thank you.

Glad you have at least narrowed down what the problem is! I assume when you tested it with the ohm meter that you moved the arm to mimic a full/empty tank? Please keep us updated on what brand/source you purchased and how it works!
