I’m about ready to reinstall the fuel tanks. Got them all cleaned up, painted outside, POR-15d the insides. Got a couple questions:
1) Is there a proper bench test for a stock SV fuel sender unit. I’ve taken some resistance readings…24 ohms on the low end, 340 ohms on the high end. I have no idea if those values indicate a properly functioning sender.
2) Most of the gauges have been converted over to VDO. The fuel gauge is still a stock unit, but I’d like to swap that out for a matching VDO gauge as well. Several options are shown on VDOs website, some listed by specific manufacturer’s sender units (Ford, Chevy) and some with ohm readings. None match the resistance measurements I came up with. Has anyone made this swap? If so, what gauge? Were any other electrical modifications necessary?
