[Poncho60]

I had the battery disconnected on my 60 Pontiac. I wanted to check the action of my gas gauge, so I hooked up the battery and proceeded to polarize the voltage regulator. Usually I get a spark when I touch the jumper lead. Now I'm getting nothing. Any thoughts relative to the V regulator?

Second question regarding the gas gauge function. Left the battery hooked up and proceeded to check the gas gauge response relative to the ignition switch position. With the ignition switch off the gauge read about 5/8 of a tank, which should be fairly close. Then turned the ignition switch to the ON position, not start. Gas gauge reading then dropped to a little less than 1/4 full. Is this what I should expect in terms of gauge response? I did not actually start the car.
