Re: gas tank sender and guage - question
 

By the way, I bought my Autometer gauges from Summit Racing. I bought fuel,
temp, oil, volt and clock, and the total savings for these five over the
"Jeep" catalogs (4wd.com, etc), was almost enough to buy an Autometer
Tri-Alert, which gave me "idiot lights" on oil, temp and fuel.

I had to return the clock twice to get one that worked right, and Summit was
fantastic - no questions asked, and the refunded my return shipping both
times.

Very nice - I have a full roll cage and the glove box door will not open
fully. I need a dash with the opening moved to the left or no glove box and
some other type of opening to hold registration paperwork.

Re: gas tank sender and guage - question
 

It tells you what the stock resistance and voltages are so you can match
the aftermarket gauges to them.

For instance you cannot put a 12 volt gas gauge in unless you also
change the temperature gauge to 12 volts because the temp gets it's
power feed from the stock 5 volt fuel gauge.
