Fuel/oil/battery Guages Don't work
I puchased my 1986 camaro 305 v8 about a month ago, 6 days after I bought it the carb took a ****. 2 weeks later after I had the carb totaly cleaned and rebuilt, then the distributor went dead on me. Somwhere around the time that the carb and distributor died the Fuel, Oil, and battery guages quit working. My first thought was that mabe the fues was blown, then I thought that since the tac and speedo still work that it probibly was not the fues(they all use the same fues right?) if they don't use the same fues then that could still be the problem. And I have no idea where my manual is, so I won't be able to figure out which fuse goes to the guages anyhow, so if anyone could tell me the fues number, or if they have a picture or if you could add some input to my problem it would be greatly appreated. Thank alot for your time.

My 83 TA did the same thing with the gauges.
The tach and the speedo still worked but the rest didn't, it was a fuse that was blown.
I'll look and see if I have the fuse # somewhere around here....

Fuse "P"
Should be a 10 amp fuse marked gauges.
The speedo uses a cable and I don't think the tach uses this fuse.
