And the power plugs into one of those tabs.

Ok. That’s where I thought you were going. Abandoned the mechanical regulator in the fuel gauge all together. Sourced a 12VDC to 5VDC solid state regulator and wired that in. Fits nicely to the back of the metal frame. Will post a picture of the configuration

Some of the problems with the OEM wiring. New harness going in. Then the dash goes back in.

Speedhut Gauges has done a nice job of mimicking the original gauges. These have a lifetime warranty, come with harnesses and sending units. GPS speedometer is an option.

What size are these gauges and how did they mount in? I really like them.

Gps speedo is a great idea. One option is the stepper motor from speedtech. Uses gps to drive the original speedo. Works very well. And welcome to forum

These are the Speedhut Gauges setup for '66/'67 Chargers. They're very nice high quality units that have a lifetime warranty.

I concur. As time marches on, Good rebuildable cores are getting harder to find. I lucked up and bought an NOS fuel gauge a couple years ago for my car. Speedhut did a nice job on their gauges and looks better than the other choices on the market.

Agree with Redbeard, IMHO nothing is going to look better than the original gauges. Simple clean styling. Fantastic look when illuminated. Attempts to mimic t he styling just look like they don't belong, no matter how expensive. They just don't fit in with the styling the car.
Gauge clusters can be fixed if not working properly. Check out this link for excellent cluster restoration Home - Todd's Restorations

Sorry Chris... A good alternative perhaps, but it just doesn't do it for me.

Power pack is flaky after running for a few minutes. One is on order.

I hope you ordered one from a good reliable source... most of the common aftermarket units are weak
