Hey everyone,
My 62 never had a working fuel gauge. During my restoration I finally fixed the wiring to the sending unit, but in the process I managed to connect my oil pressure gauge to the wrong terminal on the pressure sensor. I caught it quickly enough before it burnt out the gauge, but not quickly enough before it over-traveled the mechanism. So now my oil pressure needle "rests" buried at the bottom of the cluster. I saw a post about taking the cluster apart and resetting the needle position - so I plan to do that.
However, I noticed that my fuel level needle also rests well below "E" when the key is off. So that got me wondering whether or not that was normal, or if perhaps previously the fuel level wire grounded out, damaging that gauge in the same way.
Can anyone post a picture of what all their gauges look like with the key off, so I can properly set all of their "resting" positions?
Thanks.
