crewy Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Looking for a 68 dime cluster.The one I have the fuel n temp don't work. I have a couple of choices to see if they can be repaired or replaced. Fuel maybe a sending unit as well as the temp. Not sure how much they run new or used. Anybody have suggestions as far as trying to fix/repair or buying new. Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 If both the fuel and temp gauge do not work, check the in-dash voltage regulator. When that goes out, it screws with both gauges. It regulates the 12v down to something like 8.3v I think. If you search the how-to section, there is a thread in fixing it. There's a member here who sells replacements. 1 Quote Link to comment
crewy Posted August 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Wouldn't happen to know his name by chance and thank The I'll have to research that to locate regulator. You wouldn't know by chance what it may look like 1 Quote Link to comment
Ranman72 Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 I believe Dguy210 on here has a solid state replacement not sure on the cost but mine was intermittent on my 68 and with his fix it has worked flawlessly Quote Link to comment

So I gotta try the fix forst the fix is solid state new technology and should work forever no more open and closing of the contacts to get the proper voltage Quote Link to comment

Asking questions about your problems go here, electrical or the 510 forums but buying and selling is over there. Quote Link to comment
