Hello Fellow Listers,
I have a question for your collective wisdom. The vehicle is a '53 TD,
basically original, unrestored. The low fuel warning light has what appears to
be very light wire (resistance wire) wrapped around the bakelite receptacle
(behind the dash panel). The wire was in more than one piece, the insulation
was tattered, and I have removed it. Would someone please enlighten me as to
the purpose, length and gauge of the wire, and proper hookup, and is it needed
at all? My guess is that it shunts excess electricity to prevent blowing the
bulb, which you would never know until you ran out of gas. Does anyone know
for sure? The bulb is supposed to be Lucas 987, at 2.2 watts. How about a
cross-reference to a contemporary bulb?
Thanks so much, Pete Thiel
