Re: fuel gauge

You can test first before you buy a limiter.

"If both the temperature and the fuel gauge are not functioning properly it is an indication that the voltage limiter is responsible.

"A quick test to determine if trouble may be in the voltage limiter is to connect a voltmeter to the temperature sending unit and a ground. Turn on the ignition switch, a fluctuating voltmeter indicates voltage limiter is operating and trouble is elsewhere."

If you need a new limiter, you can build one from plans posted online.
http://www.allpar.com/history/mopar/electrical2.html is one example.


http://1962to1965mopar.ornocar.org/ml-instrument-voltage-regulator64.html is one built by a member here.
