Which Fuel Gauge???
« on: February 13, 2005 - 08:42:15 PM »
Going with Autometer gauges in my Cuda, for the fuel gauge which of the three autometer list should I go with: http://hp.autometer.com/products/ultra_lite/electric_gauges/electric_gauges.html

The choices are as follows:
  Fuel Level
 (0 Ω Empty/30 Ω Full)
 For most GM vehicles before 1965.
 part # 4417
 

 Fuel Level
 (0 Ω Empty/90 Ω Full)
 For most GM vehicles from 1965 to present.
 part # 4414
 

 Fuel Level
 (16 Ω Empty/158 Ω Full)
 For most Fords 1989 to present.
 part # 4418
 

 Fuel Level
 (73 Ω Empty/8-12 Ω Full)
 For most Fords before 1989 and most Chrysler vehicles.
 part # 4415
 

 Fuel Level
 (240 Ω Empty/33 Ω Full)
 For USE WITH AUTO METER SENDER 3262.
 
My guess of course is the part # 4415 but was wondering if thios was right, anyone used this part # or know how many ohms the mopar sender is.

 :iagree:
  Part #4415 looks closest to the readings on the Mopar sender.

Are you putting them in the factory dash or are you making a custom dash?  Take lots of pictures because I might want to do this in the future.

I have one of the electric fuel gauges.  I haven't installed it yet, but according to the instructions, which you can download from their website, the gauge come pre-callibrated but can be easily re-callibrated to work with any sender.
