[Tigers] Fuel guage and instrument stabilizer

[genepadgett at comcast.net]

As I recall, it is bolted (1 bolt through a tab) to one of the lower fore- to- aft dash brace arms that support the wooden dash. If you still have the original wiring harness, the light green and green wires from the gas and temp gauges both go to the stabilizer. So you could just follow the wires back to the unit. 

By the way, if you put a new 9 volt battery across either gauge, it should read 2/3 of full scale, since 9 volts is 2/3 of 12 volts. At least a 1 point check of the gauge to see if it is working properly.

Hello, 

I had a fuel gauge that read pretty well in the top 2/3 of its range, but 
then droped like a stone. Tod Brown sent me another one so I could swap it 
out. In doing so, I now have lost reading on either fuel gauge as well as 
the temperature gauge. Wipers and tack work, so its not the fuse. 

A couple of times during fuel gauge install, and re-install, and 
re-re-install, both of the fuel gauges pegged all the way to the right. Not 
correct as both had indicated before the dual problems of pegging and deadness 
about 4 gallons. 

Maybe I fried the instrument stabilizer? Where the hell is that little 
devil? I know its behind the dash but where? WS manual doesn't say; only says 
behind the dash. 

How come whenever you try and improve something that is working pretty 
well, but not perfectly, you end up making it worse? HEL P! Wires are 
hanging out of the dash....
