had it replaced yesterday. $130 for the gauge, plus 2 hours labor. it litterally fell apart in the dash. a rivet pulled apart.

Seems like there's a lot of crappy new parts out there. When I bought my 57 in Texas I replaced the headlight switch to avoid having problems on the drive back to California, and nearly got run off the road by a semi on a dark highway in New Mexico. Turns out my taillights were out! Put the original switch back in the dash in the parking lot of a truck stop in the middle of the night, it's been fine ever since.

Gas Gauge

I am thinking bout ordering one from Ecklers for my 57...anyone had good luck with their gauges?

i did`nt want to tackle the dash. EAST COAST CHEVY, OL`55 in doylestown, pa. works good now. bounces around alt, though.
