Probably the voltage regulator which is located inside the fuel gauge in all 67-9 cudas and all rally dash cars.
Yes. It's part of the fuel gauge and it's replaceable. There's a lot of info in threads on the forum. Use the search function and you'll find what you need.

Yes, when I redid my entire dash, while it was out I added a voltage reg. Very easy to do, but you do have to open the fuel gauge up. As scuder said do a search.
ok. tks

I agree with all above. The IVR (instrument voltage regulator) is inside the gas gauge. Power goes into that, it is dropped down to about 5 volts, and then that power goes out to the oil pressure, gas and temp gauges. You can add a voltage regulator, but I would look into having the gas gauge rebuilt (to include a new IVR). That is what I did about 20 years ago. I will look to see if I can find who did it. They put a new IVR in the gas gauge, and it has worked fine for 20 years. That way you only have to R & R the gas gauge.

You're welcome. To save you some search time, go to the magnifying glass in the upper right corner. In the drop-down menu search for "limiter" by "RedFish." RedFish is a mostly retired member here who shared a lot of knowledge. Read what he's written, and you'll have a good start. Then come back and and ask specific questions if you have any.

Well said Todd, I was lucky enough to buy one of Ben's @RedFish IVR and installed in my dash before he stopped making them.

I remembered where I sent my gas gauge for repair. It was D&M.
Redfish was run off of here by a nasty comment by the gigantic big red print. Now, Redfish is gone. We believe he died. He was going through some rough times.
