Hello. Pulling my instrument panel out for refurbishing. 1. I see that there is a missing bulb or something that goes into this female connector On the early model fuel gauge. anyone know what that part is and where I could find it? See yellow highlight.
2. Red wire. This must be a power wire as it continues down to other gauges with multiple connections. I think seven in all. See the second picture. What’s odd is what I open up the dash the connector highlighted wasn’t connected to anything. You would think it would need to power the item in number one above but if it was connected to that it wouldn’t of reached to all the other connectors on the other gauges. Could there be a jumper wire from that red female terminator to the location in picture one? Thanks. Todd |

I was saying it was an early gauge in the sense that the gauge has the silver centers vs the black centers / black at the needle attachment point on the tach. I assumed that was form a later model.
See picture. Thanks for the diagram with the spreadsheet. That’s fantastic it’s just not quite right for my gauge. It does give me a clue as to what the probable wiring is though. I took the picture of the back upside down for ease of comparing it to the picture of the gauge you posted in the same position |
