Thanks for the tip. Yes, it is a unique part for that year 1964. Does the
resistor wire that Nissan used have some sort of coating. I ask because I saw
a write-up for a VW bus where they were re-winding their sender. It said that
the windings can't touch. Their example had much bigger wire, used epoxy to
hold the windings in place and had a few millimeters of spacing between
windings.
Respectfully,

Charlie,
The wire is not copper, but a resistance wire. I think it is only connected on
one end. I suppose the wiper is grounded. I am not familiar w/1500s so it may
be different. You should be able to measure the resistance of a length of the
wire, convert it to ohms/foot & find some replacement. Is the sender different
from the 1600 sender?
Peace,
Pat

Has anyone ever rebuilt the copper winding on a 1964 1500 fuel gauge? The wire
from the winding broke off my tank sender. I ended up soldering it back onto
the windings and believe that it used to be a solid strand of copper from end
to end. Since the winding is the connection between the ground and the gauge,
I do not believe that the long end of the winding grounds to the housing. The
1500 is a positive ground and grounding the wire from the gauge pegs it full.
Unlike later years, there is no resistor between the sender and the gauge on a
1500. A dab of solder now goes across sever of the windings. The most that
the gauge will show now is 1/2 full. At least it's not showing 1/2 empty! ;-)
Any ideas on how to go about this and what wire to use would be appreciated.
Respectfully,
Charlie Hubbard
