Jess, Make sure you don't have the ground and sender level circuits crossed at the gauge. If the needle is pegs to full it indicates an open circuit, if the needle pegs to empty it is indicating a short to ground.
Let me know.
Regards,

You will have to remove the regulator and replace the motor out side the door. clamp the regulator in a vise before unbolting the motor as there is a spring that will snap the mechanism and hurt you.

You are going to need a Rebuild on this Tranny. Unless you know how to Rebuild a Tranny, I would have it done at a Tranny Shop. If you get the Clutches in the Wrong order During Rebuild it could Crack the Housing on the Tranny and cause a Bigger Problem. Please Rate My Response! Thanks!

Check neutral start switch. On stick cars, above clutch pedal. On auto trans, likely above steering post. If I remember correctly, has two 12ga purple wires going to it.

I wish I was there to help you,thats an easy one.Cant you go on any sites to get info? Try Gates & AC Delco sites.(those are belt companies)

i cannot help with the missing parts, but i can tell you that there are a whole lot of resources out there for your parts. partstrain.com is one of the better ones.

Lower the rearend gear ratio to at least 3:73 this will help alot on the low end.If you run 1/8 mile you could go to 3:90 or 4:11. Just watch your rpm.

the fuel filter is located under the car in fuel line just before the fuel tank

The ignition switch or the ignition tumbler? They are two different things. The tumbler is where you put the key, and the ignition switch is bolted to the bottom of the steering column.

If you are talking about replacing the ignition switch and your truck is equipped with an airbag (in 1995 Chevy trucks had them as standard equipment) you should probably go to an expert for this question. I would take the time to visit the local dealership and just find a mechanic and speak with him for a few minutes, chances are he'd help out.

Usually with airbag situations you are suppose to unplug the battery from the system and then wait xx minutes (I've heard from 15 to 60 minutes) in order to wait for the airbag electronic system to lose power, causing potential accidental deployment.

Standing in front of your car, looking at your engine, starting from the front and going back, the ones on your right (driver side) are 1, 3, 5 and the ones on your left are 2, 4, 6. This is standard. The firing order is 1-6-5-4-3-2. Hope this helps. If not, write back.

Since you used a question mark after "engine oil", I assume that you're not too sure where the coolant is going. While it's certainly possible for the coolant to end up in your oil, you should be able to see byproducts of combustion in your coolant (a very dirty coolant) if the head gasket is leaking. It could also force coolant out of your overflow as you drive, but not while you are sitting idle, making it hard to actually see if this happening to your coolant. Check your coolant for signs of this "blow-by". If your engine is losing power, you might want to do a cylinder balance check.

probably head gasket

Not likely.. even vehicles of the same year make and model are not simply "plug and play". Some sensors, wiring harness and computer usually need to be transferred. I've even seen motor mounts that were in differing locations.
