Default Re: Low Fuel Light Question

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."

My 70 Nova has the Low Fuel Lamp but no module .I can't figure how it can work properly without the module .That's probably why it doesn't.It glows dimly at a full tank and gets gradually brighter as the fuel level drops .If someone can shed some light on my lamp problem it will be greatly appreciated .
