What am I going to get into with the sending unit???? I have not tried to ohm the thing yet | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 109 Member | | Member Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 109 | Should work fine. Most senders back then read from 0-90 ohms. Check yers and it should match.
BTW....... the beer keg float GM uses are available seperately from Ford for about $4.00 each! Same exact part. (Gm doesn't sell it seperately)

This is a problem if you have a GM gage because it is backards. I used a F**d mustang tank and modified the sender by inverting it. I also added some resistors in parallel with the sending wire to compensate for higher resistance. Seems to work but isn't very accurate below 1/4 tank due to the nature of the changes.
