Yes, everything is stock. I got burned big time on a tach dash with white faced gauges from that ebay seller, which has been nothing but a fiasco and has cost me a ton of time and money. But that's another story.

Anyway, the fuel gauge from the ebay gauge sits at 1/2 tank when the key is on, and the tank is near empty. When the key is off, it goes just above empty. I hooked up the original gauge, and it sits at about an 1/8th of tank when the key is off, and goes to empty when the key is on. So, it seems the old gauge works ok.

It looks like I will be getting a set of the white face stickers so I can use the original gauge. I pulled the needle off the ebay gauge and it will pop on any place you set it. The original gauge has a flat spot so it will only go on one way.
