I am having a problem with the gas gauge of my 65 Cutlass.
When I start the car, the gas gauge moves from just under
full to well past full ('pegged' is the term I believe) regardless
of the amount in the tank.  This behavior started suddenly.  Does
anyone have experience with this type of problem?  I would suspect
a short rather than an open circuit, but can't find anything
obvious.  My experiences with local mechanics suggests that this
may be beyond their area of expertise.  I would appreciate mail if
have any suggestions.
