I got my new oil temp guage in today. I did indeed need a l-o-n-g phillips
screwdriver (acually a 14" extention for a 1/4 drive
ratchet set). Getting that inside screw out was the most time consuming part (
two trips tp K Mart for longer stuff).

So, it's done. Thanks for the guidance Ralph. Worked just like you said.

Hi Art:

**CAUTION** **CAUTION**

Remove the 4 bottom out side covers of the lower dash. If the lower dash
has been out before then it should lift up from the front edge and slip
forward a little. If it has not been out before then on the left side of
the lower dash, under one of the blank covers, will be a screw that has to
come out.

Now, with the lower dash panel slid forward, remove the cb mic from the
holder and take the long screw out that holds the cb mic holder. Now the
upper lower dash should be free on that side and if it has been removed it
will probably be free to tilt forward. If it has not been out before then
you need a looooong phillips screwdriver, hold the right side of the upper
lower dash out and reach in with the long phillips and un screw the far
left L bracket. In the bottom center of the upper lower dash, after the
lower panel is moved forward you should see a screw that needs to come out
as well. Now your upper lower dash panel should be free to tilt forward.
**CAUTION** Do NOT force it, if it won't come out enough to replace the
gauge, find what is holding it. I cannot stress **CAUTION** enough on this.

While your in there, remove the light sockets with the lamps from the other
gauges and clean or replace them.

Your going to find a "rats nest" of wiring under and behind both panels.
Remember if you drill, spindle or pierce any of those panels, they are shot
and cannot be brought back. Use only holes provided for screws and such.

Good luck

I want to pass along information I am receiving from Teleflex, Bluebird and
other suppliers I e-mailed over the weekend. Oil Temperature gauge 54438
Bluebird part number 3865334 shows to be in stock at Bluebird today. I will see
if the indexing is the same when I receive it. According to Teleflex this and
other Teleflex gauges Bluebird used are no longer in production and are no
longer available if Bluebird does not have inventory. I am replacing 3 flakey
gauges now while they are available.
Steve Birtles and I are searching for an instrument shop to rebuild the original
gauges. I would like to keep my bird dash looking original. In the long term
that may be difficult to do.

Jim,

Yep, that is the correct gage, Teleflex # 9153278.

The BB# 54438 was still a good number, But
they shipped the updated 9153278 gage , Then the temp would read
really high, That is why there is a lot of confusion , when
replacing gages, the sensor must be replaced also.
I like the new scale for the oil temp,200 to 230
Not so good for the rear axle because, it only heats up to about
140 to 170. lowest part of the gage.

help) he sent me the correct sensor for the guage that I got from
earl, everything seems to work now. This new guage 9153278 is
improved in that it first register point is at 140 rather than 100,
top is 320 like the old one. the end result is that the gauge will
provide more accurate readings in the operational range than the old
one. I hope!

Leroy,

I would be interested in your gage replacement project. The indexing
was different on the last gage, that I received and the sensor needed
to be changed to get a proper reading , Also the bezel is different
it is a flat solid black bezel, without the Silver trim, I have
changed the bezels , but that breaks the gage seal, no trouble with
fogging of the gage so far.......
Keep us informed.

I will let you know when I get the gauges. I think I'll go and buy one of those
lighted magnifying lamps and see if I can take the old ones apart and try to
determine why they are reading improperly. Grounds are good and the sendors are
new.

I want to pass along information I am receiving from Teleflex, Bluebird and

gauges now while they are available.
Steve Birtles and I are searching for an instrument shop to rebuild the
original gauges. I would like to keep my bird dash looking original. In the long
term that may be difficult to do.

Jim,

Yep, that is the correct gage, Teleflex # 9153278.

The BB# 54438 was still a good number, But
they shipped the updated 9153278 gage , Then the temp would read
really high, That is why there is a lot of confusion , when
replacing gages, the sensor must be replaced also.
I like the new scale for the oil temp,200 to 230
Not so good for the rear axle because, it only heats up to about
140 to 170. lowest part of the gage.

was reading 40% high. I called Teleflex spoke to Joe Federsal (great
help) he sent me the correct sensor for the guage that I got from
earl, everything seems to work now. This new guage 9153278 is
improved in that it first register point is at 140 rather than 100,
top is 320 like the old one. the end result is that the gauge will
provide more accurate readings in the operational range than the old
one. I hope!
