Sending Unit Values - reply

[John Hertog <crossram@xxxx>]

Hi Terry,

Here is copy of an e-mail rec'd from Jeff Carter, re: resistance values for
fuel tank senders:

"You might try checking the sending unit you just removed with an ohm
meter-- it should
read approximately 10 ohms resistance at the full limit, and about 73 ohms
at the empty stop."

Just for the heck of it, I just measured the resistance in a good, original
sender. I came up with 10.8 Ohms full, and 74.5 at empty with an accurate,
digital meter

> Thanks to all who responded to my email last week. In troubleshooting my
fuel gauge problems on my '64 this weekend I put a variable resistor where
the fuel sending unit would normally go. This allowed me to verify that I do
indeed have a bum sender, but it also allowed me to note the various
resistance values that it took to drive my fuel gauge to various settings.
