as you see . I have the high tech:crazy: electronic fuel gauge and speed O meter.
when I first got this blue 82 cougar barn fine.

the gas gauge showed 3/4 full. after I found the tank to be bad. installed a used replacement. the gauge work at first with the replacement tank but now it show nothing but the the little gas pump thingy keeps flashing. I know,i have about 15 gallons, so I don't want to drop the tank. I got a hole in the trunk floor, so I can test the sender unit with the tank still in car.
1- I was wonder how you test the electronic fuel gauge while it still in the dash, to see if it bad?
2-can i switch this instrument cluster from a non electronic one, with out act of congress?
3- what have any of you done to fix this 1982 high tech cluster?
