I took my fuel gauge and the sender from the tank to a
local instrument shop. They recalibrated them for me.
He did not suggest it was a difficult job at all.
Thus I think the sender can be adjusted somehow.

Subject: 1500 fuel gauge
Hi List,
The fuel gauge on my 1500 (early) always reads high.
When full, it
reads
over full, and when empty, it reads at about a
quarter. As i am running
fuel injection with a surge tank, there is no
spluttering warning from
the car, and as soon as it runs out of fuel, it cost
me about $50 for a
new (secondhand) efi pump.
Unlike later cars, it appears that the sender cannot
be adjusted short
of bending the float rod. Is there meant to be a
resistor inline on
these earlier cars (there isn't as far as i can tell)?
If so, which one
should i get?
Thanks,
James
