If I understand this correctly, only the tach and fuel gauge is not working? The fuel gauge should work fine with the factory fuel tank.

the tach is supposed to be getting it's signal from the pcm now instead of from the distributor; did you attach the wire from the pcm to the c100 connector?

as for the fuel, that should not have been affected by your swap wiring, as that is not run through the computer harness. maybe something came loose when you were installing a new pump?

so how do i check. do i need to drop the tank. when i bought this car i never drove it so ive never noticed the fuel guage. i replaced the cluster thinking that would help. are the any other ways i can check. dropping the tank is easy job if that the hardest thing. thanks for all advice

Start by disconnecting the tank wiring harness connector. If the gauge drops down to empty with the ignition on, you've got a short somewhere in the tank harness. If it stays pegged, you've got a short somewhere in the chassis harness.
