I thought the same thing but when I saw that the electric choke present on the carb was not included on the Thermoquad diagrams, I googled the numbers on my carb and it came up as a Carter AFB, not the Carter Thermoquad.

I'm looking for a diagram for the vacuum hose set up on a 74 Dart with a Carter AFB carb and California emissions if anyone has a link or a picture

Yeah.... neither the temp gauge or the fuel gauge work when grounded. Looks like I'll be on the hunt. Thanks for being so patient and helpful! Redfish - It's obvious now that the gauges or shot one way or another, but for future reference... If the gauge reads less than 20 ohms, is that the...

Yeah that's the one. Since installing the new voltage limiter the gauge does have power to the power terminal. The sensor terminal has very low voltage. Like I said, I can't find the correct fuse for my multimeter so right now I'm stuck with a test light. On the sensor terminal, the light barely...

Does that mean I need a new gauge or should it show resistance??

All I know is that after installing the new limiter/regulator (whatever it is) I now have voltage at every pin but the temp sensor.:banghead: I've removed and clean the circuit board from the cluster. I cleaned the posts of each gauge. When testing continuity of the gauges I got 0.00 on the...

Well, I've concluded that the voltage limiter is bad. I removed the gauge cluster, leaving the leads to the ammeter connected. I probably could have left the connector to the printed circuit board on but to give myself more room disconnected it and instead ran a jumper wire from pin #1 (or A)...

I'm obviously not very well versed in the electrical functions of cars so here I am again with another question. When I picked up the 74 Dart, the oil pressure and temp gauges didn't work so I traced the wires to find that they had been cut short. I made the appropriate repairs but still...

Yep... it was the darn fusible link. I'm not sure how I got a good reading on it the first time but when I checked it again today it had obviously blown. The only thing I'm left trying to figure out is why the Haynes manual indicated an 18 gauge link when it most certainly wasn't

Yeah I have the proper diagram for the vehicle. Somehow, the electrical started working again last night but soon after quit on me again. I had checked some connections, turn the key, and everything worked. I then shut the car off, made a sandwich, and when I came back it just didn't work...

I'm going to feel like a moron when I finally figure this out but in the mean time... here I am. I was doing some wiring repair on my 74 Dart. A few of the gauges didn't work when i picked it up so I tracked down the temperature sending unit wire and that for the oil pressure switch. Both...
