1965 dart dash voltage

Thank you. Yes, I have been looking into that too, I mean the for example 7085 voltage regulator.
The A to S reading is about 20 Ohm, differs from 19.9 to 20.2. Then I was afraid maybe the temp gauge has a fault and overloaded the voltage limiter (to use proper Mopar language :-) ). But, the resistance reading there is also 20.2 Ohm, so I guess that means it is fine too. It does have a 70.1 Ohm reading from the S terminal to the instrument housing (ground).

To the 5 volt solid state solution, is your experience that a for example 7085 gives about the same heat as the original voltage limiter inside the 1965 Dodge Dart fuel gauge also gives ? Because if they give around the same heat, I am extremely tempted to hide it inside the fuel gauge so it can't be seen, and it will also simplify mounting, and later troubleshooting, also if I for a peculiar reason should sell the car.
