Off to the right side of the cover is a white handle that controls the front air vent.  Next to that handle is a “body color” bracket that has a small square hole in it.  Whatever was mounted there is now gone.  My guess is that it was the turn screw that controlled the trip meter reset.  Oh well, that now makes three items to correct.  Temp gage, gas gage and trip reset…..  fun, fun, fun…

Just right of the temp gage there is a large black “plug?” a chrome knob and a toggle switch.  I know the chrome knob (out of a 51 Chevrolet) is aftermarket but my question is:  The chrome knob is a push-pull switch that does not seem to operate anything that I can tell.  I do not see it in any catalog picture; does anyone know what it is for?

My gas gage is typically British.  When the tank if full it registers ¼ tank.  It works but until I get a good reading on how low it will go I am figuring amount of gas in tank by miles driven and the mileage I get.  That seems right now to be pretty good but I do not have an accurate mileage figured out just yet,.
