Charley: Wondering the same relating to checking a gauge - did you get any
comments?
I'm in the process of fitting a 96 Chev in tank pump / sender to a 48 Chev
PU side tank for my 55-1st PU for upcoming fuel injected engine. 48 sending
unit looks like 80 ohm & the 96 looks like 70 ohm - wondering how compatible
96 sender would be with the stock 55 gauge.

Subject: [oletrucks] Gas Gauge
> My gas gauge on my '51-53 doesn-t work; reads E all the time. Pulled the
repro sending unit and with an ohm meter found out it is bad. Two
questions. First, if the sending unit was or went bad, could that have
affected the gauge itself or the resistor (12 vol;t system) ? Second, is
there a way of checking the gauge without having a sending unit in the tank
by using an ohm meter or voltage meter? I have a write up from
Chevytrucks.org but it is not clear to me on these two questions. Any and
all help would be appreciated.
