I'm stumped on this one. I just had my gauges and speedometer rebuilt and was told that my fuel and temp gauges were "shot." It appears that when a current from a battery pack was applied to the two contacts on the back of the Stewart-Warner gauges on my 1961 Lark, the needles wouldn't wiggle or move a bit. I bought two replacement gauges from Studebaker International, and the gauge restorers told me the same thing - that these were duds as well. They tested them in front of me and they didn't move a bit. After some thought, however, I am rather skeptical that both sets of gauges could be duds.
The man doing the work in the shop had two Double D batteries and two wires. He applied them to the fuel gauges of a late 60's GM model and got some action, but the same set up did nothing for mine, and I wanted to ask if he was doing something wrong when testing them.
Thanks for the help!
