misreading temp gauge

67Dart273 said
This might be a tiny bit misleading. The IVR is IN the fuel gauge HOUSING in some clusters. The output of the IVR feeds the other gauges FROM the fuel gauge HOUSING IN an early dash cluster OR IN a RALLY cluster


So, electrically, 12V feeds TO the IVR, which (orginially) "pulsed" the 12V into a "fake" 5-6V. This IVR output then branches off and electrically feeds the other gauges.

I thought you would come along and correct me. I'm glad you did. I only have a rudimentary understanding of how the system works.

Why did they do it that way is my question.
