By golly, I think you're on to something here. But if he disconnects the constant voltage regulator from the fuel guage and runs a separate wire from the coil terminal of the start switch to feed the guage it means there will be 12 volts connected to a 6 volt guage. Won't it read double the actual amount of fuel?

I think you've hit the nail on the head! It must be grounded via the fuel line connected to the car frame by those little push-in clips. I pondered like you wouldn't believe how it worked, but never thought of the fuel line!
