Title: Resistance of fuel sending unit
Post by: Hot Rod Custom on 2018-11-24 09:29
Hi Guys,
  About ready to order my gauges and every manufacturer wants the specs on the sender's resistance to order the proper fuel gauge. I'm using an original sender. Can anyone help?
  Thanks.
Tom

73-10 I'm 95% sure....this is where I got my sender from for the OHMS info, and some good troubleshooting tips:

Also, a big thumbs up to Speedhut if you haven't made your final decision on gauges. Customer service is great. Design your own! If you're going with a new speedometer, I'd give strong consideration to a no hassle GPS speedo. I do believe their gas gauge doen't care what sender it's getting input from the way it's setup, the only hassle is having to have an empty tank, or at least where you want it to show empty, then adding a know quantity of fuel, etc. I didn't use their gas gauge.

Thanks, Rich. I also appreciate the tip on Speedhut. I may go with them. They're certainly less expensive than the "big name" gauges.
