Gauges go to full tilt!?!

WOW! Nice job. I see the VR has 3 legs n one picture and 2 legs in the other.
I assume you clipped the middle as the single hole mount was redundant or did you bend it 180 and solder it back to the mount?

I clipped it off, it is connected to the mounting tab which Is grounded to the circuit board.

RRR- still inside fuel sending gauge. Sadly- 1940 technology.
I will disconnect and run a IVR-3 and supply all my gauges that way. I just hate pulling that dash again. Ugh! But at least I will know it’s fixed and fixable!

That's just weird. My 65 Valiant had the little rectangle metal one that plugged into the back of the circuit board. I remember it well, because I did the solid state voltage regulator conversion on it. But this little 64 I have is in the fuel gauge like yours.

Just a heads up, the ivr3 runs a red LED that flashes when in normal operation condition. You can see it flashing in the dark by your legs/feet. I'm gonna throw a piece of black electrical tape on it. Just a fyi.

Cool- very good to know.
Flashing “red” usually means very bad.... but I’ve learned to out run them. Lol!
When you hear “put your hands on your head.” Your screwed.
