Brass gauge


28 Chrysler

Recommended Posts

Full at the lowest point and empty all the raised seams backward.

The  two 1/8" pipe connections at the bottom, a leather seal inside the tube then a packing nut.

Th smallest tub has a vent hole just above the packing nut.

More fluid  the lower the number showing and no spring for a vacuum gauge.

I was thinking it was a gauge that showed the fluid level by comparing height of the main storage vessel to the height of the fluid in the measurement tube.  Looking closer it seems the length of your gauge is too long for a simple oil pan reference device. Maybe you are to pull the marking end out of the tube to see where the wet line is on the numbered reference?  Seems like it might be more designed for use ona vertical standing tank of some kind.

 The gauge SEEMS to be reading backwards, unless you interpret it this way...

 

0 = 0 quarts low. You don't need to add any oil.

 

1= 1 quart low, just top it off with whatever you have under the seat.

 

2= 2 quarts low. Uh-oh. You've got a "small" leak. Start carrying a couple of fruit jars full of oil with you when you go out.

 

3= 3 quarts low? Nice maintenance schedule! Are you pals with Daddy Warbucks or Jay Gatsby that you can spare an extra $50.oo for a complete engine and transmission rebuild? Maybe next time you wont listen when your passengers tell you to just straddle those stumps or boulders. Even "vanadium steel" has its limits...

 

F= You're F***ed.
