Electroluminescent gauges
I know Mopar in the 60's tried a lot of new technology in the high end cars, such
as Chryslers and '66-'67 Chargers. 1 of those new technologys was electroluminescent gauges, where a high current of 200v is passed thru the special surface in the gauge. causing it to glow, sounds so cool and everything, but when they stop working, there so complex it takes a lot to get them going again. I know about the starters being problematic. my dads electroluminescent material has been spray painted with a flourescent paint, and it needs to come off, but we don't want to damage the coating, what can we use? also, the starter dosn't work, need a rebuilt from 1 of the companys such as JCW gauge restoration, which is no problem for $75, there readilly available.You don't know what you've got til it's gone
