Car has been started and run up and down the driveway (not registered yet)
Not sure how to check sender for ohms

It's used more gas than you think..
Re watch the video. That's literally what they're showing you how to do

Yes, but will it work with aftermarket gages? (Sounds like you’re good at sharing) lol

I can't answer that. I only know it works with the original in dash gage. And if so, why use an aftermarket gage?

Cuz im thinking if all the gages don’t work, the printed circuit is probably bad including the fuel gage

I watched, i asked since my sender is still in the tank…

Let me see if I understand this correctly. You have a gas tank with an unknown amount of gas in it, you think it might be the sending unit is wrong, so your priority is there. Is this correct?

Crazy.

That was my point, to see what it's showing as currently installed.

Apparently you haven’t read entire thread….. i mentioned previously it is a new build with a new tank, and I ADDED 8 gallons to the tank…

Crazy

Ahh ok… will try measuring ohms next

I’ll read some threads…..
Thanks for that help

Providing a link might be actual help, sir.

Oh, same comment directed at @ruffcut - especially since when I go to the Vans site and pull up sending units,
I don't see one listed for our b-bodies:
You searched for sending unit - Vans Auto
Maybe I'm just blind...

Seriously, not what I would expect from you.

So if my gage reads just above empty with 8 gallons in tank, its just an adjustment like the video?

8 gallons should be around a 1/3 tank I believe they are 19 gallon tanks. so in math 5 gallons is a little less than a quarter. These gauges were not that precise from the factory IMO. if your gauge reads empty accurately and full accurate. you can guess the rest

I'm big on helping. Not so much on preaching.

Then you do his search work for him.

I put this one in the RR but have not tested it. It looks to be built well.

Unfortunately, as mentioned in post 1, mine reads a hair above empty with 8 gallons in the tank. Am aware they dont read accurately, but as you said, with 8 gallons should read “around” 1/3 to just under 1/2
Thanks
