Fuel gauge sending units

[66FBCharger]

Is there anyone who fixes original fuel gauge sending units. My original sending units resistor is damaged. Is there someone that fixes these or even takes a 5/16 Chrysler fuel gauge sending unit and puts the resistor onto my original 3/8" unit?

Maybe check with JS Restorations.

I sent an inquiry to them and response was quick and courteous .
I have not had them do work but was given their name by Tony,s .
If some one was to actually make a repop that worked actually they would corner the market as we all know no
Repops  read accurately

Its still amazing to me that no one has worked to correct them.  All it would take is to change that one part.  (as I understand it)

Just the ohms readings are off for the three levels I'm going to figure it out one day .

[Ghoste]

My admittedly limited understanding of it though is the reason your ohm readings are off is because of the taper they use in that variable resistor.  If thats true, substituting that single part would cure the problem would it not?

Yes it would. When I needed a bigger sender I replaced the linear resistor of the repro unit with the old resistor.

In hindsight we might have been better off just asking for aftermarket fuel gauges to agree with the GM-based sending units.  

Today we have repro '69 grille plastic, FFS.  We are still waiting for these sending units to be done right.

And it isn't just us, it's the entire old Mopar hobby.

I've had some 1990s Dakotas that never kept a fuel gauge more than a year. 

Fuel gauges are one of those things, like flip-up headlights, and power windows . . . the industry simply refuses to put enough quality into them.
