tank sending unit

anyone know what the resistance range should be?

15 ohms full

90 ohms empty

Hey thanks for the quick reply, guess I'll have to open up the resistor again, damm 180 bucks new. I guess at 11-66 it won't read the fuel level right, and there's not a trim pot on the guage either, is there?

[68_Val_Sedan]

no trim pot on the gauge .... I  would like to suggest that you ditch the stock instrument voltage regulator for a modern electronic one, it has been the cause of more problems with fuel gages than I can remember.  The 11 and 66 should read full but not go all the way to empty

Factory specs are 9 or 10 to about 73 ohms. You should be in the ball park. An ohm or two isn't going to make a huge difference. With the sender out of the car and a ohm meter, it's pretty easy to check the calibration.

Yes, i have it out, and took it apart, at first it didn't read anything, guess it lasted pretty good ro a 61 Dodge! I have a new filter sok and float, I see what happens.

On a side note, 68 Val Sedan, the political thing is a political thing, America first is all I ask, that's why we can have a forum like that, and if I ever see ya broke down on the side of the road, Ya can be sure I'll stop and hand ya a beer and get Ya going.
