You can repair the gauge by buying a cheap mechanical gaugean splicing it on the old gauge. Before you cut the bulb off put the bulb in a cold water an ice solution, where it draws the either into the bulb. You have to make a joint so 1 line will slip into the other. Then take sodering gun an soder the joint, make sure you keep the bulb in the ice solution the whole time, It will cost you about 20.00 to fix. Look up the fix on a 33 plymouth, it will tell you exactually, how its done Hope this helps
