1963 Dodge Dart 270 Convertible for the Wife
So I sucked it up and restored the correct '63 heater knobs and cables. What I also did is reinforce the crap out of the plastic housing. The original was brittle and cracked. This should make it sturdy....
The gauge regulator is inside the gas gauge on these old cars. Lets see what condition it is in...
Partially drill out the rivet then use a razor blade to pop it free. We want it to be able to press back in afterwards.
Just do one and roll it around. The regulator is on one the right. Gas gauge on the left..
Points seem to be in good shape so I will just restore it.
Tape off the face and very very lightly bead blast it...
Here is the ammeter gauge.
Make sure this connection is clean and tight...
Now time for some Mr Heater box decals.
I rolled the gas gauge face back and pressed the rivet back in. That is all it needs as the other once was still very tight.
