RE: [Chevelle-list] fuel Impedance
Hi, I've never had any problems with either my Autometer nor my chevy gauge but if I remember right there was a thread a while back about a bad ground on the sending unit in the tank. ciao André Ive had numerous aftermarket fuel gauges and, to be honest, none have worked correctly. Had a SW back in the 60s in a 55, two different Autometers in my 67 and a Dakota Digital in my 67. Even with a new tank sender neither the Dakota Digital setup nor an Autometer UltraLite would read correctly. It got to the point that I used my odometer as a backup I knew how far I could drive under normal in-town/highway conditions and watched the odometer to clue me in when to get gas. If anyone figures it out, more power to ya - grin Dale McIntosh 67 El Camino 1967 Chevelle http://www.chevellestuff.com/cdoffer.htm Reference CD beta now available!

RE: [Chevelle-list] fuel Impedance
Check grounds! And if possible get a 100 ohm potenteometer and test is by adjusting the resistance from the pickup lead with respect to ground. mike --- Dave Studly [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey all, keep posting any progress you make on this.

Re: [Chevelle-list] fuel Impedance
GM uses a 90 ohm sending unit,,,Autometer uses a 240 ohm unit.

RE: [Chevelle-list] fuel Impedance
Autometer makes a gauge that works with a stock sending unit. I believe it is a 90 ohm unit but I would call the tech line at Autometer to make sure you get the correct one the first time.
