    What is involved with getting an original 32 fuel gage to work. Maybe a look alike gage with a more modern sender......??? Thanks in advance

    Original gauges were a whole different animal than modern electric. They had fluid in a long tube pressurized by the sender. Not easy at all to restore.

    PM @ct1932ford on here as he had one or two original 1932 gauges repaired recently and was very pleased with the result. Be prepared for as @alchemy says these gauges are not your common type and repair will not be cheap but if you want to play you've gotta pay LOL
