I'm ordering a new sending unit for my 1969 Roadrunner. My factory fuel gauge is still giving me fits even though ive gotten every other gauge and dash light working. my question is, has anyone ever just installed an aftermarket stand alone fuel gauge on the bottom of their dash? can i buy one...

awesome thank you!!

just so you guys don't think I'm a total moron, i carefully took apart the dimmer switch last night......cleaned the entire thing. all the metal is shiny again...all the contact points are clean. still no lights this morning. i did a continuity test this morning.....from the tan wire at the...

so many electrical gremlins with this car i dont even know where to start ugh! so i had the cluster out for a 4th time this week.....i decided to clean the whole thing up like new, nice new black and silver paint, painted the needles bright orange like original, all new indicator bulbs and...

spin the cable from where......the bottom side that attaches to the transmision?

my speedometer was working (the only thing working on my dash). i just refurbished my entire instrument cluster and everything is working great.......except now the speedometer doesn't work? it sems im plugging it in as far as it will go, feels like a snug fit. what did i do wrong???

some great progress with the instrument cluster. seems over 53 years there was some slight pitting and surface rust, dust etc all over the circuit board. i carefully cleaned the entire board, cut some new transparent green and blue plastic for the directional indicators and the high beam...

i tried last night......still no luck. i seem to have alot of issues going on with instrument lights and gauges so i pulled the whole gauge cluter out today and im going to attempt to test it all tonight. hoping theres a youtube video out there breaking down a 1969 instrument cluster test

im probably driving you nuts and i apologize. when you say disconnect the wire from the sending unit.....would that be the black one i have coming out the front of the fuel tank or do i need to remove the sending unit and disconnect a wire on the unit? p.s. i found in my wiring diagram that the...

yeah the wire in the trunk has definately been painted but as i followed that particular wire all the way up to the plastic connector behind the kick plate.....the wire is still blue (just a different shade of blue from what they painted over in the trunk). and that same blue wire continues up...

the first photo is what i have down at the fuel tank......grounding strap looks good, i scuffed all underneath it so its getting good metal to metal contact. the wire right next to it appear to be black.....i sprayed degreaser and scrubbed it just to be sure. is that the same wire that comes out...

ok i removed the kick panel today. i traced the wire coming from above the gas tank in the trunk (blue) and it went up and over the left rear fender, down along the bottom of the door and came to a plug behind the kick panel. i disconnected the plug and i grounded the blue wire that continues up...

I'm in search of the piece i have circled in the photo. I keep seeing the whole trim set for sale online but i just need this one piece if anyone has one they would sell?
