"I am 99% sure the VR needs replacement
It may have been damaged by the electrical flash you caused in the system which is very much a normal result of an electrical flash happening when working on an electrical system

When the VR is not working correctly the Gen light on the dash comes on ( or blinking in your case ) and stays on when the car is running ( does not go off as it normally would at start up )

"you mean with the key on, gen light on, engine off, the pathway to the light is from alt providing that power to turn on the light, but once the engine is involved, it goes the other way and shuts off the light??"

Kim, I have a 63 Coupe Deville, all stock. I had the exact same problem and I know what you are going through. I have a 600 cca battery in my car. I firmly agree with the others about using the highest amp battery you can find. I have my timing set at 5 degrees. The fuel additive is what seemed to help the most . My engine was pre - igniting when hot and the stock starter just could not overcome it. As I mentioned the additive made the biggest difference. I cannot find the paperwork on my starter but if you google high torque starters you will find it. The cost was around $300.00.

So I am troubleshooting my fuel gauge issue. I bought a new sender and tested it. It it goes from 1-ohm (empty) to 35-ohm (full). When I test it (outside the tank), when the float is in the up (full) position it only moves the gauge to about 1/2 full. When at the bottom (empty) position the gauge shows empty. This is the same issue I have when I fill and then use the gas in the tank - the gauge never reads ore than half full. Based on what I've read on this thread it would seem like the…
