Smiths Voltage Stabilizers - REVISED
That's a great doc for troubleshooting the electric Smiths gauges. I don't know if you absolutely have to have the stabilizer or not. Doug is usually about 99.9% correct on stuff like that. But, if it was me, I'd pull the gauge out of the dash, pull the sender out of the manifold, and put it all on my work bench, along with the stabilizer, and work with it, along with a little 12v transformer feeding the stabilizer, until I had the gauge working when the sender was sitting in a cup of boiled water.
