1935 Dodge Truck fuel gauge

[broberts]

 

Does anyone have a fuel gauge for a 1935 Dodge Truck? Or have suggestions as to who might have one?

I believe my gauge needs to be grounded properly. Any advice on how to do that?

 

 

thank you,

Vics Dodge Garage has a lot of parts and can rebuild the gauges.

 

Do you have a new wire harness or using the original? My old harness had all sorts of issues.

Thanks! My wire harness was redone but it was homemade by the person who restored the truck. I've recently purchased a new harness which I plan on installing.

 

As I fill the gas tank, I’m getting a change in resistance at both the sending unit and at the wire that goes to the dash (and the numbers match). The wire from the ignition switch to the fuel gauge has a star lock washer, but the one from the sending unit does not.

Take out the sending unit, and the gauge from the cluster, put it on your bench, add some voltage, and see what is happening...always best to eliminate all the variables...and go direct.
