Between the two of us Bob it seems like we got it figured out … it is definitely good to know … I knew it was small … now I’m curious as to what size tank an 87/88 sedan has … I’d think maybe considerably bigger … best regards … Dan

Looks like Silverstudes eBay link is close but … similar but it doesn’t have the a/c buttons … Avantis would also have the a/c & max a/c buttons … Avantis had the nicer/fancier “chrome” buttons … my replacement has black buttons … seems to be same unit but not as fancy … was thrilled to find and works great … Daniel

Where to find good new or used units … have found all of mine on eBay … Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth on Fifth Avenues, Monaco’s, Imperials, Córdoba’s, Diplomats etc. Just got to look and match from pics in ad … they’re out there, just gotta look through lotsa listings … good luck … Daniel

Bob … I would think you could repair it … I’ll check my scavenged units n see and let you know

Hi Bob … finally got the car out this weekend … ran it as close to empty as I could without running dry … 1/8 tank left and filled up … got 9 gallons in it … figure coulda squeezed 10 in but didn’t want to take chance of overfilling/overflowing it and get the car smelling of gas … when restoring the car had the tank sent out and blasted and relined as it had a leak in it and car reeked of gasoline … I remember it being so small … was told that because of the convertible top folding into the trunk area, they had to make the convert tanks smaller in order to accommodate the top when folded down … don’t know if true or not but based on small size of tank as I remember, the 10 gallon figure makes sense. This is just my experience but I ended gassing up much more often for this weekend trip than I thought I would … good reason to get out fairly often & stretch … best regards … Daniel

Thanks … will pry out and see where leads to … appreciate the pic … know I’ve got a manual … but … of course misplaced it

On plane heading back home … I’ll hopefully have for you Monday Back home … here’s pics of the units … you can see the good ones with the plastic what I call “mouse ears” intact and pics of others where they’ve broken off … mechanic buttoned up my dash but had these on the shelf to take pics of … anyway now hopefully this explains what could be the issue … hope this helps Bob … if I can be of any further help just let me know … Daniel
