Re: white guages

I'm guessing you moved the fuel level gauge to one of the small gauges ? How hard was it to get the fuel gauge to read correctly after that ?

some of them came from the factory with the small fuel gauge, so it is as easy to read as one of them

Re: white guages

It must be an intricate job. When I worked on my 80 gmc, the fuel guage needle crumbled in my hands. do you use new needles for this project??
