Does the gas/fuel reading on guage go to the Empty side or stay at the actual level that's in the tank itself after key/ignition is shut off? Pre-thanks in order...

a lot of the replacements are 90 ohms which was 66 and most prior to that were 30 ohms sending units

Neither my '65 nor my '66 have a memory. When the power is off they drop to below "E". Both are stock, one has guages and the other idiot lights.

My '65 drops, but not necessarily to E.

If you can't fix it with a hammer and screwdriver, you need a bigger hammer.
