1973 Newport

[Ron McDowell]

Howdy boys...Ron up here in Canada putting together a 1973 Newport.
Will be reaching out for some advice.

First question...None of my gauge's work. Speedo, fuel, generator??
Where do you think i should start first...

Cheers

The speedo is run off of a cable from the trans. No generator but alternator....could be something as simple as a wire not connected or something major as a melted wire. Fuel gauge may be the sender in the tank. Just have to do some testing. Do you have a factory repair manual? You can usually get them on line....

@Ron McDowell — welcome and thank you for posting your Newport. I own a 1973 New Yorker 4dr and you may find the restoration info thread useful:

I also curate a thread focusing on info for 1973 Chryslers. Would be great for you to post about your car’s history and fender tag there:
