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.
