Thanks John,

I have a couple of good leads on a replacement.  If I get this done I will post pictures.

Here is the gauge sitting in the tank before I put the gasket, metal cover, glass and cap over it.  Please excuse the ugly condition of the tank cover - my car body needs a paint job and more.

Here is a picture of my gauge assy before I restored it.

There is a resource for the complete gauge assembly in the Dodge Club. It has a Dodge logo on the face, but maybe you could photoshop a new face. Contact Don Feeney for the Dodge connection at

Thanks Tod,  I spoke with Mike and I think he can help.

If anyone makes reproductions then I bet the fellow at Atwater Kent would know. And he might even make them himself:

The gas tank in my 29 has been giving me trouble since I bought the car, so this weekend.., out it came.? It has a number of issues but it is still pretty solid after all these years.? A little body solder and a good interior gas tank paint should do the trick.? I would also like to find the tank gauge that was originally used.? I would be interested in one that was in any condition so that I could fabricate the parts to make it work again.? If anybody can help.., it would be appreciated, even another complete tank with all the appropriate parts if it is in a restorable condition.



I am looking for a Gauge, Float & Cap assembly Plymouth part number 42666 or 300539.? This is the listing the Plymouth Master Parts List gives for a Model U prior to RS-400-L.? My car is RY-888-W.

I don?t think this setup was unique to only Plymouths.? Does anybody have any info on this part or does anybody sell reproductions.

Tks,? Chet?
