Fuel Sender vs. Gauge Values. Chrysler or AMC?
Trying to get a working fuel gauge after some... 12-15yrs. Got a new
sender and an Equus gauge. Reads 1/2 on empty like before. Here's my dumb
question.
Does the sender present 10-75ohms or 33-240ohms (can't remember the exact
numbers but it's Chrysler vs. AMC).
It's a '76 CJ-7 but I had to order a '79 sender 'cause the '76 is out of
production. Should've been the same sender, right? Think they're identical
from '76 through '80s. Was there a change? Am I all wrong? Did I just get
the wrong part?
Best Regards,
Drink

Re: Fuel Sender vs. Gauge Values. Chrysler or AMC?
Thanks Bill. That site pretty much hammers the whole thing. It'll be
nice to ditch my old fuel level indicator; a gas can. Sure, it was rugged
and never, ever failed to indicate when I was out o' gas, but definitely old
school and kind of embarrassing from time to time. Still waitin' for
someone to say, "Real Jeeps don't have gas gauges.!"
