In the 1970-1974 E Body vehicles, which included models like the Dodge Challenger and Plymouth Barracuda, the standard dash fuel gauge was part of the instrument cluster. During this era, analog gauges were prevalent in most American cars, and the fuel gauge in the E Body cars was no exception.

 

Here are some general characteristics of the standard dash fuel gauge in the 1970-1974 E Body vehicles:

 

  1. Analog Display: The fuel gauge was an analog display, typically featuring a needle that moved across a marked scale. The scale ranged from "E" (empty) to "F" (full).

  2. Dash Location: The fuel gauge was integrated into the instrument cluster on the dashboard, along with other gauges and indicators. The exact placement and design may vary slightly depending on the specific model and trim level.

  3. Electrical Operation: The fuel gauge functioned based on electrical signals from a sending unit located in the fuel tank. As the fuel level in the tank changed, the sending unit would send corresponding electrical signals to the gauge, causing the needle to move accordingly.

  4. Accuracy: While these analog fuel gauges were generally reliable, they weren't always extremely precise. They provided a general indication of the fuel level rather than an exact measurement.

 

 

Note: Not for use on 1970 Challenger models.
