My fuel and temp no longer work, is it probably the voltage limiter? Do these malfunction regularly? Would Napa or Auto Zone or Checker have them, were are they located? Sorry for all the questions it just has me stumped. The car is a '62 Valiant, thanks.

Actually, on a '62 the voltage regulator should be integral to the fuel gauge. Check out Chuck's article in the "articles" area on this site, it shows how to hook up the newer external VR to the older instrument panel. The best part is if your internal VR is totally dead, it should restore full functioning of the gauges. Might look into building a solid state 5v VR while your at it, all the parts are available at radio shack for about $5. There was a link here a while back to a great thread on moparts.com as to how to do this. I've got all the parts ready, and just need to find time to put it together soon. :)
