What is the resistance range of the fuel level sender?
I'd like to go to an aftermarket guage.

Anybody got a lead on a Temperature Guage that will work with the Mopar sending unit?

Low range should be 10 ohms give or take, high end is 60 I believe (may of been 70?). I'm pretty sure its in the FSM as well.

When I was fiddling with gauges, months if not years ago, I recall seeing gauges in summit specifically labeld as being for a mopar sender. They also have generic gauges that use a 1/8" npt sensor so that would be direct swap for ours.

Most '60s-80s Mopar oil, temp, & gas senders are are around 77 ohms for a LOW reading and 10 ohms for a HIGH reading, but they weren't intended to be all that accurate so those are approximate values.

I'm pretty sure I just saw a Jegs catalog listing some digital gauges for Mopar senders, but as Pierre said, the senders are pretty easy to swap (unless the new one is bigger - that's especially common w/ mechanical gauges) and many gauges come with the appropriate sender.

I got out my JCWhitney catalog, and I see there are fuel gauges for Mopar gas senders, but not one temp gauge for a Mopar temp sender. Sorry if I mislead you.

You could modify the guts of an aftermarket electric temp gauge, build a custom temp gauge, build and adaptor module, or just replace the sender. The last is by far the way to go.
