Thanks Andy.

You are right of course.   I had priced a sender from Moss .. 10 bucks.
The local auto parts house wanted $25 but had to order it.

Part of the fun of my LBC is the "rigorous testing" thing.   Once I become
knowledgeable enough, _I_ could be the next Dan Masters!!!!  :>/

Since no one on the List got back to me with an exact resistance reading on
a working sender, I just ordered a new one.   I'll measure it and become
the authority.   :)

PS, did your Smiths senders go as suddenly as mine?
