Stock non rally guages on the inside

[bigmanjbmopar]

I see a lot during everyone's restoration, at some point when we get the the cluster / gauges or just trying to get things working and road worthy, we come to a point to where we find ourselves troubleshooting the gauges / cluster etc.

I thought just to help out I would post a couple of pictures of a temp guage as an example of what it looks like inside, the fuel looks the same.

Reason is I hear all the time about how a new sending unit is installed but the guage doesn't read all the way full or empty etc, not many people talk about re-calibrating the gauge. It's a little unknown item that we forget sometimes needs to happen.

I watch people beat their heads against a wall trying to get a guage to read right ending up just living with it not working right.

well here is a pic of the inside, the adjusters that are used to calibrate the guage to the full and empty marks. I actually set mine to show 100% full right past the full line and the empty right at the edge of the empty mark.

Hopefully this helps cut down some time for someone down the road. This info should be used in conjunction with the fuel sending unit adjustments / tests / troubleshooting.
