Hello List!
Ive got a 1972 VW Beetle
A few questions that John Muirs Book has shed little light on for me.
When I open the gas cap should it be sucking air? Ive got a vacuum in there. Its been doing this since I replaced all the gas vapor recycling hoses. They were all original and cracked. I used vacuum hose until I am advised on something else. An annotated image of the front boot - fuel hoses.

The gauge indicated 1/4 tank when I ran out of gas. Instead of bending the pivot point / guage needle I opened up the voltage stabilizer and spread the windings apart. This resulted in the needle going way past full and I have only used a gallon so far. By the time I get to empty the gauge may reflect more accurately? Where do I find a replacement voltage stabilizer?There is a toggle switch on the duct work coming off of the shroud. What is this? An annotated photo of the engine compartment -
