Making this trip just cost me the Camaro, the AMX, and15 years of friendship before he spit on me leaving because I didn't want to wait until he got off work at 8 or 9 tonight to get his parts out of the back of the jeep, and then start tackling the camaro fuel pump and get it running before leaving. And if i left i better stay well loving clear of him now that I have so selfishly hosed him over by not having gotten to it because I spent months sitting on my rear end.

Never underestimate pettiness. Seriously how do we get 14 funds and on the way our time is passing us by. I donated before ready again this has to happen. I am sorry 14 but your fleet is not taking you to Valhalla. But a big rear end bus might! Let's do this

Alright, let's do this
And as he drove on, the cars broke down as he touched them, for, though he did not know it, 14 Inch was a Rust God. All he knew was that his working days were miserable and he had a succession of lousy weekends. All the cars knew was that they loved him and wanted to be near him, to cherish him, and to keep him busy.

Seriously man I think you splashed mud on a Gypsy woman when you were learning how to drive or something.

I'm starting to be convinced that kastein and 14" are some kind of yin and yang. No matter how terrible, rusty, and shithouse, somehow Ken's jeeps run. Even when they shouldn't. Especially when they shouldn't. Meanwhile, on the other side of the country, we have a mechanic who appears to have so offended God that he has been cursed to walk the land, every vehicle he works upon breaking in more esoteric and nonsensical ways simply to force his hand and hone his craft.

Serious answer, base model mopars put the fuel gauge in where the tach should go. If it had a tach, the fuel gauge would be on the bottom left where that lonely light is, I think.

I'm kinda surprised to see oil and voltage gauges without a tach though.

We went to the junkyard and almost bought a murder weapon, then bought justy parts and tried to drive a retired muni bus around the yard that they hadn't pulled the batteries from yet. Unfortunately bus driving is not something either of us have done so the vast array of switches and controls saved us from certain ejection and lifetime banning

That cluster is the mid optioned one. It has gauges for oil and temp, but no tach. Povspec XJs got dummy lamps for the oil and temp too. Well optioned ones got a small fuel gauge where that dummy lamp is (what's it for, redline? Upshift?) And a real tach.

I had pov gauges in my '92 XJ Sport and learned to drive stick by the shift light. Imagine my chagrin trying to transfer over to a mid '90s Tercel with a 4 speed and NO torque.

I actually don't even look at the tach while driving anymore, I really only use it while diagnosing engine issues. Which makes my 88 MJ with the same exact gauge cluster really annoying to diagnose...
