I plan to buy a universal tank to install behind the rear axle. Most tanks say they don’t accept the original sending unit.
If I buy a sending unit P/N TAN-GME from tanks inc. GM to 1964 type 5 hole -0-30 ohms would that work with the original gauge? | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 | Hy 47 BOMBER, yes that sender should work with your original gauge. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2020 Posts: 89 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2020 Posts: 89 | | | | | | Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 2,839 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 2,839 | If you are replacing both tank and sending unit, I would seriously consider putting in exactly 1/4 tank of fuel, then the sending unit and see if your gauge reads 1/4 tank full. If not, remove unit and tweak the pivot arm of the unit. Be sure to pre test the float to ensure it doesn't have a leak.
