new gas guage/old sending unit

[copout27]

Hey guys. I'm finishing up my year and a half project on my '66 stepside. If I put a new modern gas guage in, will it work with the original sending unit? If not, what do I have to do? Thanks.

The Ohms have to be the same for the gauge and the sender in order for it to work properly. Example 0-90 ohms. Just check the sender to make sure it matches the gauge you are using...Big Tim

Thanks Big Tim. Do you by chance know if a '66 original sending unit is 0-90ohms?

Original sender and gauge, is 0-30 ohms and are not compitable with 0-90 ohm units.

The good news is vendors still sell new 0-30 ohm gauges in a variety of styles. Here is a link: http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/stor...1+2+3+13+1147708&searchTerm=autometer+30+ohms
