Testing Fuel Gauge

[hueyhoolihan]

FYI...

i discovered that the some of the dashboard gauge wiring on my '41 involved conductive plates. my research showed, and empirical evidence also showed, that wires with sufficient gauge to effectively dissipate heat (i.e. thick enough) and with the flexibility (thin enough) to do the job don't exist. in that if they are not thick enough heat will melt the insulation, and if not thin and flexible enough it's next to impossible to manipulate them into position. so much so that Ford decided that plates were necessary to do the job. in particular between the fuel gauge and the oil pressure gauge.
