Jim,

One problem I did come across was the fuel gauge. Always read full. I was able to determine the fuel sending unit I had in the tank would only work with the original Ford gauge. When I first purchased the car several years ago I had to replace the fuel tank, the sending unit and an electric fuel pump. All were trashed from sitting for a number of years. At that time the car was still 6v positive but the sending unit was good for 6 or 12 volts. Also make sure your grounds are good.
This is a first time for me so I'm no electrical wizard but if I can help any further let me know.
Zeke
