Maybe we can score a pair of Smiths voltmeters somewhere. We would then have
the more modern battery sentry and matching gauges. Take a look at the back
of the gauges with your inspection mirror and see if they have the same little
white stickers on them. Anyone got a Smiths catalog?
\I haven't looked for a voltage stabilizer, although there are plenty of
\metal cans on the back side of the dash which *could* be one. The
\wiring diagram does show a stabilizer. Phil, I thought this car had
\"former-owner syndrome," could the stabilizer have been removed when the
\TTL-logic stuff was installed?
Absolutely.
\as I recall the trip odometer reset must be turned counter-clockwise to zero
\it out. Took me awhile to figure that out.
The knob has the same degree of "spring" in each direction, so I think it is
jammed inside the speedometer housing. I think I saw the trip odometer move a
bit when I tried this, but it could be autosuggestion.
