Many thanks to folks who responded. Much appreciated.=C2=A0 =C2=A0 As sugge=
sted, I used the multimeter with the speedometer partially out of the dash =
and stabilizer body grounded to battery.=C2=A0 =C2=A0You have to mentally a=
verage out many I side voltage readings as it constantly changes on the mul=
timeter..=C2=A0 The new stabilizer in the British Spares box gave high volt=
age and high gauge readings.=C2=A0 =C2=A0I cleaned the corrosion and crud o=
ff the old (original?) stabilizer case and terminals and hooked it up.=C2=
=A0 =C2=A0 It produced accurate gauge readings and now all is well.=C2=A0 =
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0
Both stabilizers have a tiny external slotted screw close to the I terminal=
. I've heard this is an adjustment screw to adjust the voltage step-down fr=
om battery to Smith's instrument voltage.?=C2=A0 =C2=A0Anybody know=C2=A0 a=
nything about this or the how-to procedure?=C2=A0 =C2=A0 I guess I would tu=
rn the small slotted screw one way or the other, wait a bit and see if the =
I side voltage and the gauge readings changed and repeat till things looked=
 normal?
Now, on to fix my non-functioning horn.=C2=A0 I'll guess the horn is fine, =
but I've lost connection somewhere.=C2=A0 I've fixed it before.
Cheers,=C2=A0 Bruce=C2=A0 Simms 73TR6=C2=A0=C2=A0
