Thread: Fuel Gauge

Tweet

Just a thought Mike, if you or the owner happen to have an old "good" sender sitting around (like the universal ones that used to come with some gauges) or one from a car you could always wire it up and see if the gauge reads.

If it's a universal one it's most likely for a GM type gauge. If it's Ford or Mopar and the gauge works great, if it doesn't work then the gauge will probably calibrated for a GM type sender. If nothing else you may be able to figure out what it needs by the process of elimination.


The Ford and Mopar have just a little bit different ohm range but their close enough to work and today most companies seem to sell 1 sender or gauge and it's close enough to work (but may require bending a arm a bit). Back in the old days SW probably listed separate senders for Ford and Mopar which is why they list 3 sending units.
