The 3rd generation from Sept. ’72 till Jan. ‘79
EDIT; Jan. 20, 2014 : This text is added later and is the same as in posting #310 which was inserted on Jan. 20 2014
Back to the original posting.....
The TEMP and FUEL gauges changed places.
The wiring changed into a barrel connector.
Turn indicators were added into the cluster.
The look of the gauge faces changed a little. The horizontal bar is a bit longer. The sweep range is now 45°. The previous was 40°.
In Sept. ’73 the FJ became also available for the General and European market.
In Feb. ’74 the BJ40 24V edition came into the European and Canadian market. This is not visible when you look at the front of the cluster but will show when you turn the cluster around and look at the back. There is a “dropper” resistor to bring the 24V down to 12V for the FUEL and TEMP gauges. The OIL gauge is different and is clearly marked 24V (after removing the front) in the right bottom of the gauge and has a different sender of course. The AMP gauge is the same for 12V or 24V clusters. More about this in a later posting.
