          i have another extra gm cluster laying around when i find another lincoln town car digital cluster i can make someone one. i enjoyed making it so i wouldnt mind making some for you guys.


          gonna find a way to rig up the turn signal light indicatiors and high beam light indicators without using the circuit board. thinking of putting solder on the the connectors should do it.

                        well since my order on the new fuel sender got cancelled. they dont have them anymore. i went to the junkyard to pull the one from the tc got it and decent shape i put it in and filled her up and the tank was pissing fuel from there. so i pulled it back out the seal came off the sender so i glued it on there and also put gasoline resistant silicone gasket maker around the hole to make sure it stops leaking will find out in 5 hours.

                        the fuel gauge works right and reads right now with the new fuel sender as i have half a tank of gas reading and that is exactly how much is in the tank when i reput in the fuel sender. so the mod worked i am very happy. pics later.

                          I forgot to ask you when I talked to you on the phone, you did spin the lock ring back on and hit it tight with a hammer and punch right? Just like you did to take it off.
