electrical issues with the 67 fish

Thanks I will do this. Is the voltage limeter inside the fuel gauge? Otherwise I don't see it. I will ground the cluster and get back to you later today. I did think about this but it seemed to easy. I assumed the cluster made its own ground when in place. Thanks again

The mounting screws make chassis ground all over these cars.
Yes the mechanical limiter is inside your fuel gauge. Regardless where it is located it needs a ground reference to operate properly. I've seen the pluged in can type blister the copper right off the circuit boards, more than once.
I still dont have an answer for the no start but I feel like neutral safety switch is somehow involved. You do have both wires connected to the amp gauge, right ?
Good luck
