U-haul builds and limits the size of the trailer to limit the weight of the towed car on the trailer in order to limit the total towed weight so people don't tow 10,000 pounds with their U-Haul rental trucks. They want to rent to folks towing little Hondas. Their trailers are built heavy to...

Right. Maybe I'm dumb because I seem to keep forgetting the original context was the Dodge truck ammeters burning and not the car ammeters. In any case, your recommendations are great for cutting through all the misconceptions built up over the decades and I think the three points I summarised...

Wouldn't even necessarily have to be stainless, even a body color band might do. Absolute crazy thought --- illuminated plexiglass band. Like edge lit, or something. Is that even a thing? Just me and the cat home now. Sometimes the mind wanders into strange territory while otherwise unoccupied.

All the brackets and pulleys are different between A/C and non-A/C. Get a complete matching set as trying to mix and match doesn't usually end well. Usually the P/S can swap over if you get the correct crank pulley, but the rest can't be re-used. Diameters and offsets are all different. Even the...

Same as yours- just the housing and the slots in the panel that let the light shine through. I found my old map light with a butchered harness on it and it didn't have a lens either, and the NOS map light I bought didn't have one. I useds these warm white LEDs in the dome light and map light...

No, it is not.

You should check your float level and the small bowls glued to bottom of the float bowl while it's open.
