probably the old printed circuit behind its dead...i believe wombat(?) on here makes quite a good replacement...well that's my guess

The speedo is mechanical, the other gauges are not and depend on the printed circuit. |

could be the voltage regulator - the I terminal feeds to the fuel and temperature guages. wombat makes electronic ones that are far more reliable than the old ones (and a hell of a lot cheaper!). could be the printed circuit also - 40+years and they tend to be frail. "convertable mini" makes new ones on this forum. |

try grounding out the wires (one at a time) that are connected to the fuel sender, if the guage goes to full when one of the (+) wires is connected to earth then its the sender. If it doesnt make the fuel gauge go full for either wire (just the + should not both cables but just incase you have them reversed try both) then you possibly have one of the issues posted above above. |

I'd place my bet on the printed circuit board, too. They are a little flimsy. But I reckon the big plug in the back might have just come loose. Do your dash lights work? |

Not the normal one on the inner wheel arch but on the firewall about 10-15cm away if you follow the loom inside the car. |

they both were working then they stopped working while driving the top fuse in the fuse box on the wheel arch is blown would that stop them working ? |
