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.

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

Correct...no such thing as console gages only.

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

Console gauges included a fuel gauge. Since the RH pod in the dash could only have a fuel gauge or a tach, it wouldn't make any sense to have two fuel gauges.

I'm curious to know if ALL consoled gauge equipped 69 Camaros received the low fuel light,or was it an early/late build addition/subtraction?
I've never noticed it before..

September 1969 dated Salesmans materials state:
"Optional RPO U-17 instrumentation w/floor console or V8 includes:
Temperature,oil & fuel gauges and ammeter on floor console.Combination Tach & clock,low fuel warning & brake warning lights in instrument panel."


Did 69 console equipped Novas get the low fuel light too?

I believe 69s did, and am sure 70s had them, as I had one on mine.

Yep...I'm sort'n through 69-70 Nova nomenclature right now,and see that it was included on them too..
Although they don't make mention of a "Brake Warning light",they do say,"U-17 includes Low Fuel telltale in instrument panel."
