Title: Whatzit and whysit 1976 Eldo convert
Post by: shadetree39 on September 13, 2024, 09:59:15 AM

While I have the dash pad off a few things need attention, clock, gas gage and a few questions:
Where does that twilight indicator plug in?
What is that black plastic cylinder behind and below the radio for?
How do you bench check a fuel gauge? Mine reads full all the time. I have 3 others to chose from. The in tank pump is nos.
Need a clock repair, I have 2. Any recommendations?
Also radio repairs I have 2 , an am fm 8 track and an am fm.
Also in rehabing the fuel system I noticed that the fuel line just downstream of the chassis mounted is swedged down to a much smaller size, any enlightenment? Its the original fuel line.
I installed Mr.Does fuel pump relay and it runs!! Thanks Bruce.

For rebuilding your clock these folks are highly recommended

For the other items, I'm sure help will come shortly.

Twilight Sentinel plugs into the little sensor that is twisted into the hole in the left front speaker grill.
Assuming you are referring to the auto headlight on/off feature.
