Re: Low Fuel Light Question
 
Was the fuel gage on the console only when a tach was ordered, since the gage package included a clock, and precluded a center fuel gage?

Look at it this way... the only time a small center fuel gage was used was with a no console car or a console car without the gage pac.... with a tach.

U17 tach and gages which included low fuel indicator. U16 tach only with center fuel gage which became available around 3/69 The tach took the place of standard fuel gage location and the fuel gage was located in the center(clock location)

But when did they start including it in the console gage package ?
All 69 Camaro Console/ gage cars do not have this included.

My October, 1968 built 69 Z has the low fuel light. I have the original order form for the car and it was ordered with the U17 instrument cluster. It doesn't say anything about another option for the low fuel light.

All the dashes have the lens in place for the low fuel light, check the bulb or maybe the gauges were added and the lens just needs to be wired up.

The actual low fuel sensing module is round in shape and snaps into the gauge pod on the backside near the oil gauge.

It has been 10 yrs. since I put my car together...I will go in and check for the module when I get a chance. Got me wondering now https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

So it was tach and console gages, or just tach. No such thing as console gages only? Got it....thanks.

Re: Low Fuel Light Question
 
Correct...no such thing as console gages only.

U17 special instrumentation
Tach, clock, and console mounted, oil pressure, amp, temp and fuel gages.
