Hello!

I just put another thermostat in my gas block and checking it with a bulb in the radiator, it shows 170 so , so far, I am happy. THEN, I notice that the water gauge on the dash shows , zero(all the way to the left. So, is there anyway to fix the original temnperature gauge on her, or do I have to bite the bullet and buy her a new one?
Thanks for all your good help and happy holidays!

I saw a story on a guy who rebuilt gauge like this I had aways wondered WHAT the working fuild in these tube type gauges were. The story said it was ether.

I am not sure but I think it was a story about reworking gauges is a Mopar Muscle some years ago. The artisle did not speak of the amount of ether in a gauge. I assume you checked the tubing for no breaks, made a good solder at the bulb end, used a hypo. needle to injsct some ether in the line/bulb assy., and then made the solder joint at the gauge end. The article was not that expansive.

If it shows zero, and never moves, its shot. Bite the bullit, pay the $40-60 bucks, and replace it. It'll give you a chance to clean out the bird nests that accumulate under the gas tank! Seriously, though, be careful when removing the side panels, those little 1/4" bolts snap real easy. Also soak the sending unit end of the gauge with kroil for a couple days, you don't want to snap off that thin brass fitting, its a nasty job to remove if that happens. Good luck.
