I don't have a fuel gauge since it was replaced with a combo oil pressure/temp gauge for the 2.7 6 cylinder.
I have heard that an oil pressure gauge can be converted for use as a fuel guage. Geoff told me that there is a thread that describes the conversion. I have tried looking at the classic threads and performing a search, but have had no luck. Can anybody help me? Eddie |

James,
I didn't get a notice that you replied till today. That was the same way that I tried to do the range, but when I called the speedo places thay told me that that was incorrect. VDO does make one that looks just like the one that I have. It was used on the 916 in the dash center area. Bryan, when I am at the point of goofing with my gauge, I will be very happy indeed. Unfortunately, I am far from that stage so I have no supporting or conflicting data. I would recommend calling Palo Alto Speedo, or North Hollywood speedo. If you buy it from them they can calibrate it if it needs it and if it doesnt work as advertized then they will make it right. Waldek over at NH speedo is a great guy and loves what he does. Are our senders not the same as 911? I believe that they told me that they were, but it has been a bit since I talked to them. |
