Anyone have the part number for the factory carb conversion
fuel flow meter? Mine works about 25% of the time.

| Has anyone had a backyard conversion with working mpg
readout, or
| do you need the conversion dash cluster to have the fuel
flow meter work?
| I am surprised there isn't a reliable substitute. My FWD
mopars all had
| this feature & I never had any problems. They are all
EFI, but I don't know
| why that should matter much.
