 |
|
so, I have a 56, and I also have this gas gauge
I recently found the correct sender again (I left the sender in the tank when I sold a car, DOH!) and would like to use it on my 56, without having to drill any holes. I think the gauge is probably to big to fit in the ashtray gauge holder I see for sale on ebay. is there a bracket that attaches to the steering column that will fit this?

is that grill a dark metallic blue or just a solid color blue?

What about in your glove box? It's not someting you need to check while driving. If you are thinking about the ashtray panel measure the gauge. I can check the hole in the panel that's sitting in my basement if you need the measurement.
