Have u read this?http://www.ozfalcon.com.au/index.php?/topic/1972-guide-troubleshooting-fuel-level-display-capacitive-probe/?fromsearch=1

Main thing is to settle on a good 1 & stick with it to get the benefits of that particular brand. I use valvoline engine armour 15-40 in summer & 10-30 in winter. Bit colder in NZ!! My Ford shop manual lists 20-40 for a 302.

The alt light isn't coming on anymore although it has done in the past. I've charged the battery overnight and it seems to be ok for now. I'll keep testing it over the next few days. I noticed the earth from the battery to the block has some insulation tape on it so I pulled that off and the thick wire is intact but a big chunk of factory insulation plastic is missing. That wouldn't be doing anything would it? Might replace it anyway. Next I think I'll check the brake light wiring loom for any bad earths or connections as the guage only seems to flick wildly with brakes and indicators. Thanks for the advice so far

I hope I've cracked it. Tested 12.6V engine off. 12.3 at idle then got mate to test it while I revved it to 1.5-2k. 13.9V so it must be the battery as the charging system works? Hopefully a new one stops the guage fliker otherwise I'll be chasing my tail again. Hope this helps anyone else with similar problems.

The alt light only comes on dimly sometimes. Always when brakes are applied and indicator on. No other time. But it isn't doing that now although it has in the past

They're on ebay in Australia too but you have to search hard to find them $3.95ea + $10 post

A custom one specifically designed for aerodynamics to justify the orifice What would that look like? Out of the box enough?

Ok so I'm not very smart so can you tell me what it does? What would you be looking to get out of it? Money? Or trade for some of the gear you need? Cheers

Mate there should definitely be a screw in there. Take the disc off & you'll see you can re-align it like the other side. The wheel lug nuts will also help secure the disc but without that screw the disc can still move fractionally putting stress on the studs eventually shearing the studs from metal fatigue (its happened to me) Your rattle could be from your inner brake pad if its lost the retaining clip or it could be the springs not being seated properly?
