Post subject:  Fuel gauge and sender info.

Ok, the fuel gauge and sender in my 1952 Chrysler are not working. The gauge will be fixed when I rewire the car next month, but I took the sender out and it is pretty corroded.
For now I do have a fuel gauge, Ford/Chrysler type, 81449.
I would like to get an universal sender to work with it, but I do not know the ohm range.

Also is my aftermarket gauge the same ohm range as my factory one or will I need to change senders again?

Any info would really help!

Thank you.

Oh, also, is it possible to mount one of those universal senders to my original tank?

.

If the gauge IS in fact a ford/chrysler compatible gauge the factory ohm range is 10-73 ohms.(not knowing what brand of gauge you have) Empty being 73ohms... (not exact but within a small tolerance) The universal sender can be used if thats the range it operates in...

That is an unknown, due to the fact the original gauge is/was in a 6volt system..
