Thanks guys.  I got the old gauge out.  Dave has already shipped his old gauge to me and it should be here around the 27th.  I’ll let you all know what happens next.

So it’s definitely the speedo.  @toller has one that he is sending me an old one he has so I will try to replace it.  Can anyone give a hint of how to go about removing the old one without causing too much damage?  I’ve looked at it but can’t figure it out.  Below is a pic of what it looks like now.  Thanks in advance!

Hi Ed,

I checked the path and it looks good.  I think it failed as a result of the beating the car took in the towing down here from PA.  I should have flat towed or shipped but it’s too late now to cry over spilled milk.

Thanks, Steve!

I have a mapped out covered bridge ride in Delaware/Chester/Lancaster Counties that the Historical Car Club of PA does for its Spring Run.  The run is limited to members of the club but if you want the route I can forward it to you.

The other alternative is to join HCCP, the fees are $15.00 a year, and show up for the Blossom Run (this year it w…[Read more]

Glad to see you back, Crash!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!

Hey Toller,

Are the VDO sender units different from the VW ones? I have a new VW sender unit that I put in with the new tank but the gauge is not working. So I guess the real questions is, if I replace the VW sender with a 10-180 ohm unit, might that solve my gauge problem?

Thanks Paul and Ed for your feed back. I have the original fuel guage installed in my reconditioned dash, but the original fuel sender in the original optional Dutchess tank that I have has no part number markings on it. There maybe a part number stamped on the dash guage, but I have been avoiding trying to taking it out due to some vertigo…[Read more]

Welcome aboard, Mickey!  That’s a great find.  I’ve been wanting to add one of those to my collection but they are as rare as hen’s teeth.  There’s a guy around my area (it maybe the same guy that Ed’s talking about since Ed and I are close) that has one.  He’s a little sketchy about the provenance when you talk to him about it but it’s a Vic…[Read more]

WOW Paul thanks for sharing. FYI, I came across my Classic Instruments Installuation Booklet the other day, as I need to replace my glass tank sending unit. The sending unit is not marker with any kind of a number so I do not know how may ohms it is. Might you know? My Dutchess was built in 1985 the only othe way is to pull the Gas Guage out of…[Read more]

Thanks, guys!  I’m planning on towing to Carlisle and VA Beach, so I hope to keep in touch with my MidAtlantic peeps.
