<VV> 140-PG MPG?

One of the little spring looking (resistors?) on the sending unit is broken
(or at least not functioning).  If memory serves, there are 3 of them
(possibly 4?).  The other 2 (or 3?) are still working.

My rampside has the same problem.  I ignore it because it is accurate at the
E end of the scale... where I need the accuracy.

Attachments are scanned with anti-virus software.

'61 Rampside Standard 4/110
'65 Monza Convertible 4/140
'66 beater Coupe - icemobile 4/140
