Hi To All, It's good to see a site like this. I browsed through the topics a little and didn't see anything on IP PCBs. I'm trying to repair the board on a 1988 Buick Regal. The Fuel Gauge and Warning Lights work, but that's about all. I've got four resistors that I suspect to be the problem, but can't find any info online for the wire-wound radial resistors. If anyone knows of a site which has values for replacement resistors of this type or has in-sight into what I'm dealing with would be greatly appreciated. The only info I have on the old resistors are:
Dale
CW-2C-1
150 ohm
5% (tolerance)
100PPM
and
2 different numbers on 2 of the 4 resistors are:
8823 (on one)
8821 (on another)
What I don't know is the wattage. I'm guessing .5w, but searching the numbers all I can find is 3 watt and up. I understand that I don't want to go undersize, but are there any foreseeable problems on an OLD OLD car with going over size or damaging the other IP components thereby?
Thanks for building and maintaining this site!
