Hello,
there is a mechanic around here who scraps a lot of cars and he said he gets fuel sending units all the time and would give me one that i could use to replace the one on my van that does not work. He said i just need to find what range of ohms my sender operates on so we could match one up, but i could not find this info anywhere.
does anyone have this info?
thanks,
Paul

Since 1965, all GMs use a system with a sender that works 0 to 90 ohms - empty to full. Most Dodges and Fords use a system that works 73 to 10 ohms empty to full
