Good Day All
With the 'Party Barge" ('65 Newport ) nearing completion, I dumped 5 gallon into the tank. A check of the fuel gauge shows nothing - no movement.
Wiring shows continuity from the dash to the sending unit. A test light, however, shows nothing. I have several (used) dash voltage limiters but none have resolved the issue. Looking at a electronic one from Real Time Engineering, but they do not show a listing for '65. (They go from '64 to'67.) Can't find a good phone number for them to verify. Both numbers I found are disconnected.
My main question concerns the fuel gauge itself. Does it have a internal heater? If I understand this correctly, internal heater gauges need to be disabled in order for a electronic unit to work. The gauge cluster is installed in the car as the limiter can be accessed from the bottom.
If the sending unit went south I should still have power (test light lit) wouldn't I?
All comments welcomed.
Thanks for your time
