DCarlton Posted August 10, 2021 Report Posted August 10, 2021 My fuel gauges could use an overhaul. I'm looking for a rotating spare before I send it my existing gauges for overhaul. I primarily need the left gauge but would consider purchasing the entire cluster. See pics for P/Ns. With all the EDMs that are being installed, there should be a few out there somewhere. Thanks.

carusoam Posted August 10, 2021 Report Posted August 10, 2021 You can OH, buy new, or see what @Alan Fox has on the shelf… If you are building a forever-plane… and get a primary JPI…. The Ceis fuel floats are the way to go… for accuracy and digitization… Best regards, -a- Quote

Kicking that can down the road. Edited August 10, 2021 by DCarlton Quote

But there's also an advantage to not having every gauge in one electronic box. The modular design of these old gauge cluster is pretty cool, especially if you can still get them overhauled too. Quote
charlesual Posted August 11, 2021 Report Posted August 11, 2021 I hear your putting everything in one box. I’m actually upgrading jpi830. It’s been super reliable so I decided to go all in on cleaning up my panel. I’ll send you a pic of my cluster gauges later. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Paul donahue Posted September 27, 2021 Report Posted September 27, 2021 i believe the 830 is only certified to be a backup system. so you would need to leave the old gauges in. thats what im planning on purchasing also, but im not sure if the original fuel senders talk nice to the 830 or if new fuel senders for the 830 would talk to the old gauges. does anyone know??

Welcome aboard Paul! Yes and Yes… The JPI 930 would be the primary gauge replacement version… The factory analog Fuel level float sensors will work with the JPIs… There are newer Ceis digital fuel level floats that improve on the accuracy of the older analog floats…. More ‘resistor segments’ in their construction… So… if you need to update your fuel level system in parts over time… this would be one way to attack it… And…. If you wanted to start with Ceis sensors and hold off on an expensive JPI…. They can be connected to a more simple digital display that is primary as well… PP thoughts only, not a mechanic… Best regards, -a- Quote
charlesual Posted October 5, 2021 Report Posted October 5, 2021 Sorry for late response but I finally got around to pulling my cluster gauges. Does this work for you?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
bhtitle Posted October 23, 2021 Report Posted October 23, 2021 Hope this is still useful - I've got the cluster from my '67F that was working when removed for JPI-900 upgrade this June. Quote

I bought one about a month ago and resolved my issue. There are other people looking for similar year gauges now though. Can't remember where I saw the request; either on MS or Facebook. Quote
bhtitle Posted October 24, 2021 Report Posted October 24, 2021 Ok sounds good, thanks for the info, I'll check those places for any takers. Quote
