    Fuel gauge troubleshoot

    Correction. Full scale IS 100% duty cycle using 1khz PWM. Earlier I was using 500 Hz which was why full scale was only 47%. Using 1khz is the way to go. If anyone is trying to use their GT cluster with a transplant, like a coyote, let me know. I can help you make those work together.

    Fuel gauge troubleshoot

    I have spent some time driving the factory gauges and I can tell you that the range of operation is 0 to 47% PWM for full scale. I drove each of the gauges using the same 5V PWM signal sweeping up and down and they all work the same regardless of their purpose. It was very interesting to watch...

    I've been struggling with the color. I want it to pop. I like orange or a brighter blue but red is safe and always looks good. I want it to be unique.

    Hey guys, many of you may think that I gave up or sold the project, but I did not! I'm making great progress and I hope to have the car running by the end of the year. I spent more time working on the project than sitting at the computer updating my progress, but I feel that I left a lot of you...

    Ok, I spent some time this weekend connecting my lights to a friends GT. The first pass went pretty good. The first thing I noticed was that the OEM taillight has the electrical connector so high, that its nearly impossible to get off without removing the taillight. Mine puts the electrical...

    I know it Jeff! I've had that power supply for 40 years and it just keeps working. I still have my TRS-80 Model III in the basement. Too bad Radio Shack couldn't figure a way to keep up with the times...

    I realize that I'm way overdue for an update on the project. A lot of things continue to progress on the car as I continue to collect parts. One of the parts that is becoming scarce are the taillights. As I progress through my project a few of us are in the same boat and we've been trading...

    Hi Scott, Yes, I am getting those through a source in the UK. A-Arms are custom but using my stock engineered bushings so that there is a common part between wide body and stock control arms.

    This fact is making me nervous. Bidding on a wreck that will help me finish my project. Lots of new posts coming if that happens! Fingers crossed!

    So its been a while since I've posted an update on the project. I had an opportunity to try the bushings on a GT on the racetrack, but we didn't have enough time to swap all of the bushings before track day. I will try again though, as I'm anxious to see them perform! in my last post, I showed a...

    Thanks for those words of encouragement @Ed Sims! Ugg. I was ready to give up a few times before but I’m committed. Hoping that someone with a wreck might cough up a few parts along the way. 🤞🏻

    So I've been bouncing around on a lot of little things lately and a little distracted with the new Toy which was ordered august 2019! (I love it by the way!) I've installed the Cowl Duct and I'm really happy with it. See the installed pics here: Duct1, Duct2. The next endeavor is the thermostat...

    Hi @ultrasportracing I did get a hold of Torrie. No dice though. Thanks for the lead anyway.
