Guest Mshugge Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Got our baby up and running. Now time for the fine-tuning.Realized that the previous owner had glued the arrow for the gas gauge in place. Was wondering why this always read as 1/2 tank of gas! I don't know if the gauge was broken or the wiring but would like to find a replacement model.Now that the tank is full, we also realized that the gas will pour back out when we are going up a hill ... like even our driveway. So we are also trying to find a replacement or new gas cap.Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narve N Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 We always love pictures especially of a "new" car, so please include yours too, here are my two S65RsTo your question: The gas gauge on the 29 Chryslers is the most fragile instrument on the car and rarely found in the "placed in lower row" configuration. A similar design that fits as the upper instrument (x-Plymouth?) with the glass upside-down is much more commonly found (I have two extras). It might be possible to combine internals of a working upper with the original, but one cheap fix is the following: If the wiring on the gas-gauge back is reveresed, the reading will be continously 1/2 full (you may guess how I know). Best of luck with reversing.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
