<< Hi, Folks,
Ihave 2 really stupid tech questions. 1) I have to
pump my clutch pedal to get any pedal pressure,seems
like there are no leaks. does this mean I need to
bleed the clutch or do I need a new master/slave
cylinder?
2) I know from the wiring diagram that the water
temp and gas gauges share a voltage regulator. my
gauges come up to where they should be then fall back
to nothing. Does this mean the regulator is bad, and
where the heck is it? (66 1600)
Thanks for any help anyone can give.

Roman,
Those aren't particularly dumb questions!
On the clutch: yes, could be either. Look for leaking inside the car at the
master cylinder and leaking from the slave cylinder. Bleed the system and
fill up then watch for any loss of fluid, or discoloration of the fluid,
which would mean you need to replace the flex hose.
There is a little voltage regulator that mounts just to the right of the
steering column that controls the fuel gauge and the temp gauge. A couple of
BOOKS have been written by the more electrically inclined among us about how
to build a better one( the discussion was over my head!) but you can buy one
for about $20.
