I think it was about September 1973 when they went from magnetic to thermal gauges, and different senders. Rhys

Remove the fuel sender wire from the back of the gauge. Make sure the 12V is still connected along with the earth strap and turn your key to ON. If the needle starts going across to full, you have a magnetic gauge, turn the key straight off to avoid damage. If it stays on empty, you have a thermal. This procedure will only work if your fuel gauge is in working condition. Rhys
