The OEM ones needed "tweaking" sometimes.
I remember working at the dealer in the late 60's, early 70's and there was a chart that showed the resistance from full to empty. If you wanted it to be spot on you measured the resistance of the sending unit full sweep from full to empty. Usually 10-73 ohms. You then picked the resistance for 1/2 a tank and we had a tool that you could set the resistance with (nicknamed the "dial a prayer") . You connect that to the wire connector at the sending unit and check the gauge. If it wasn't exactly on 1/2 you could pull the instrument cluster out and adjust it through the little holes on the back of the gauge using a small screw driver. Didn't do it a lot but occasionally we had to do it to satisfy a customer

Has anyone used the LED Guage Light Conversion Kit from Hi Po Parts?
Kit # FC6566FM-EL2?
Looking for some feedback as to if its really worth the effort to install.
The instrument cluster has new bulb and they are getting battery volage
They never have been really bright, but then of course my eyes aren't getting much better either at 76 years old.
Just need them a little brighter
Ideas? Comments? Suggestions?

Roy, saw you at the service talking to Howard. The family spoke about Joanne and their memories of her. I last saw them in May and there were the nicest hosts at their home. I wish they would have lived closer so I could have had more visits with them

Looks good, looks like lots of neat stories
Thanks

Moma bought all of Faria's  stock

I had my tach done by MoMa about 20 years ago and was able to talk with Margaret, the owner and the person she had that was actually doing the work. He explained I detail what they found, what he proposed to do and answered all questions. It was done in less than a week
Biggest delay was in shipping, both there and back. Tach has worked flawlessly since

I use Goodyear Polyglas radials FR70-14  on Magnum 500's with no clearance issues  ride is much improved over the BF Goodrich tires I was using
Got them from Cocker

Here's a picture of the plugs in the intake of a Hertz car when we repainted the engine in 2021
A metal tube attaches to the back fitting for the automatic transmission, the other is a pipe style fitting for the PCV valve. It's the picture i have at this time

That car was awesome at Greenwich. Don't see many triple black cars

I have a couple, I'll send them to you

Now this an example of why exactly why the forum is so great. It takes the people who know what we need, the willingness  to look for the correct stuff, make contact with a supplier and then make the information available to those who may need it. Thanks to all who have contributed. You're the reason I read the forum most of the time.
Thank you 

I'm using a 3 core from Spectra and it has never overheated, has run warm while driving in the DC 4th of July Parade

I watched you guys doing a couple of the inspections. It was eye opening to say the least. The knowledge and details surrounding this process is mind blowing
Thanks to all for the great work and a bit thank you to restorer's and owners of these amazing vehicles

I'm using a 3 core radiator that I bought in 2011. Got it at a defunct auto supplier
I see a company called "cold case radiators" has something similar. Price has gone up since I purchased mine
Look them up and see if they fit your needs. I have my original repaired, but haven't reinstalled it in the car

I believe that all of them were winners, a great selection of cars. Just not enough time to see them all
