IVR in 65 Dart

[zephyr]

Does anybody know if the IVR in my 65 Dart is the kind that's built into the fuel gauge or is it the plug-in type? I am going to be taking out my instrument cluster/dash to paint it and I thought if I plug in a new solid state IVR maybe I might get lucky and fix my non-working fuel and temp gauges. This is at the far limit of my mechanical ability but I thought I'd give it a try.

In the 65 Dart it’s built in to the fuel gauge unlike the 65 Valiant which has a separate IVR

Thanks, I never had the dash out of my 65. Plenty of times in my 66.

So do you think the reason the fuel and temp gauges don't work may be the IVR? If so, how would I fix it? Anything I should replace while I have the dash apart?

You could try swapping to a known good gas gauge or disabling the IVR within the gauge and adding one of those electronic one from RTS (and probably others as well). I believe RTS has a video on their website about how to do this modification. I would probably go this route and be done with it.

EDIT: good chance that’s why both gas and fuel gauge are inoperative.

Thanks, that's what I was hoping!

I googled RTS but found nothing. What's the company name or website? Thanks.
