Fuel sender
OK, I have a 1952 Chrysler Windsor.
The fuel sender is, well it is really old. Anyway I need a new sender. An OEM type sender is nearly $100 Those universal aftermarket senders are only about 20 bucks. Is there any way to mount one of those on my original tank? Thanks |
If I can not mount it, does anyone know whee I can get an OEM sender for less than $100?

I really don't know how to advise you, am not familiar with the older Mopars, but a few random comments
At least SOME older cars had a common flange mount. I know that the Stewart Warner gauge senders like this: http://www.danchuk.com/images/Medium%5C13941_m.jpg fit the older GM tanks directly, and also fit my old 62 FJ-40 Landcruiser A couple of things are, that the sender resistance range AND the direction of the resistance For example, one guy on one of the other forums bought a fuel cell with a GM sender. The resistance goes the wrong way, IE full is "least" resistance and empty is "most" resistance. The Mopar 12V stuff is the opposite, and of course you need the correct resistance range. Another example, is that the S*W gauges are what is known as a "bridge" circuit which works on an entirely different principle than the (12V) Mopar gauges which are a "hot wire" movement. The things I don't know then is: What direction the resistance must change What the resistance must be at full and empty AND...............what you likely don't know is.......... whether your gauge is still accurate. |

Oh also, until I get my gauge panel rebuilt, I am just going to use an aftermarket gauge.

Anyone? Please?
