You can also replace the internal gauge regulator with a separate unit, mounted anywhere under the dash; but you have to do a little bit of re-wiring to install it. Kens’ suggestion is easier, if you have a good spare fuel gauge.
NAPA sells a separate unit under part number IR9, as I recall – it is called an “instrument regulator” and is also known as a 5 volt power supply or regulator.
It is a simple three terminal device: 12 volts in, ground for the case, and 5 volts out – which goes to the fuel, oil and temp gauges. The ammeter does not require the 5 volts.

The voltage regulator for the gauges is cleverly hidden inside the fuel gauge. If you have the spare panel with a good fuel gauge, just swap it out.
Someone had mentioned some time back about a place that restores these units. Unfortunately, it was one of the many posts that fell victim to the ‘delete’ key.

Hi all, Working on my 1967 Sedan and the Fuel, Temp and Oil Gauges do not move off empty. The shop manual refers to a voltage limiter on the instrument panel as the likely culprit. I do not find one on my instrument panel or the spare I have. Anybody out there seen this critter and where would it be? Thank Don Savard |
