    Aftermarket Tach and were to get lighting from

    I did try to attempt that, ended up breaking several fuses and every fuse I stuck it in made the light stay on constantly. None of the fuses are labeled, any idea which one is for the lights. Guess I could take each one out at a time and see if the lights will work or not?

    Aftermarket Tach and were to get lighting from

    I put a small cheap tach on the duster but Im having trouble locating a good place to tie into the lighting so the gauge will be lit at night. It is mounted hanging down from the bottom of the dash beside the hand brake handle. This is not a permanent tach as I will eventually put a new...

    73 duster - gas gauge not working

    Im ordering the sending unit now but I wanted to know what you guys thought about getting the larger size fuel line choice. Mine is the smaller line but I plan on going with larger motor (360) in the future. Would I run into problems if I got the larger size and then necked it back down...

    73 duster - gas gauge not working

    Ill check the ohms while im at it, so with a 73' Im looking for 13.5 ohms? The jegs unit is 40 bucks, I don't mind spending a little more upfront if I can get better results or longer life out of a different unit. Since mine was a /6 car I can pretty much bet on the smaller fuel lines when I...

    73 duster - gas gauge not working

    So I took the electrical plug off the tank, put a screw in it and ground it to the brake line. See photo. The gauge moved all the way to full! While I was under the car and had a good grounding position, I took the clamp and hooked it to the tank and reconnected the electrical plug to the...

    73 duster - gas gauge not working

    I got under the dash this weekend, it is all very clean no with no rust and good connections. Everything in the dash is working, speedometer, temp, alternator. That's all the gauges I have. I had a mechanic put a thermal gun on the motor to check the accuracy of the temp gauge and it is dead...

    73 duster - gas gauge not working

    I cleaned the original grounding strap and the gas lines to where I could see nice shinny metal, the gas hand never moved. I tried grounding it to other places under the car with new clean wire and still nothing. I had a mechanic try to ground it also and never got the hand to move. I also...

    73 duster - gas gauge not working

    So the little rusty piece should not the connected to any thing else? When you say.. "There should be a small strip on it connecting to the fuel line" You mean a portion of the strap should be rust free and making good contact with the metal fuel line its clamped to? So what I am...

    73 duster - gas gauge not working

    Alright fellas I got under the car this weekend to look at the sending unit. Im far from a mechanic, so I don't assume much when working on my car. This is what I got... This is on the front of the tank ( encase the orientation is questionable) The small wire is what sends the shows on...
