1960 Imperial Paint Job

[<rls9151@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry, my mistake. On Chrysler models it is mounted externally on the back
of the instrument cluster printed circuit board. But, on the Imperial models
it is contained inside the fuel gauge. In both applications the voltage
limiter is connected in parallel to provide the same regulated voltage to
all gauges except the ampere gauge.

Have an Imperial day,

> That is correct, there is a voltage limiter, but it is not "attached" to
the back of the panel. It is built into one of the gauges. In '60
Imperial's, when it cooks, that is it. It means replacing the gauges or
having them repaired. JC Auto is the only place that I know of that can fix
them correctly. It is possible to repair then yourself, but they probably
will not be accurate.

look very good but did not last very well. It soulds like that might be what
you have sprayed over the original paint.

may be burned out. It is (or used to be) called a voltage limiter.
