I'm an old school electronics tech (U.S.Navy 1966-69, and have been
interested in the potential for failure of the IVRs that Ma Mopar so
cleverly built into the fuel gauges of my beloved early A body Darts
for a long while. While following the previous thread, I reviewed
the info on the Real Time Engineering website, which has been up for
some years, with few changes. This time, I noticed an ordering
option with an instant payment feature.
Well, even though my 50 year old IVRs gave not failed, I decided to
splurge and placed an order with RTE on June 1st. I received my
limiters today, June 3rd, along with a helpful data sheet and some
testing resistors. This was a pleasant surprise, and the testing
procedure is not on the website. I will be using it to test the
other '63 & '64 MOPAR gauges I've collected so I'll know if they
are "real" spares or maybe parts or scrap.
Disclaimer: I have no affiliation or other interest in RTE, I'm just
a pleased and satisfied customer.

P.S. I seem to have misplaced another list of MOPARS with IVRs
built into the fuel gauges. I know for sure that '63 & '64
Darts and '74 motor homes had them, as I own or did own them. If
you don't find a plug-in IVR on the back of your cluster, it's in
the fuel gauge.
WHEE!!!

I noticed that IVR had the Real Time Engineering website on the
circuit board. A few mouse clicks and I found THIS:

Which is the info I referred to about the IVRs built into the
fuel gauges.
The RTE site is still up, and has sales info, pricing and lots
of info and pictures. Obviously put together by some real
electronics folks who are (were??) also real MOPAR fans!
More links from their site:

I dunno if there is still anyone at RTE, so I'm archiving all
the info I can.

I concur 100%, solid state in all of mine!
Here is the only voltage limiter I could find on
eBay currently. I use solid state two
wire voltage regulators also!
