Aftermarket fuel gauge

-
I installed Speedhut gauges, and the Gas Gauge uses the stock (aftermarket) sender.

I manually calibrated the gauge to the sender so that "F" is full, and "E" means 10 litres left in the tank.

This gauge is dead bang on accurate at virtually any spot between F and E. Easily the most accurate Gas gauge I've ever had in any vehicle.

Chrysler uses a 70-30 ohm gauge/sending unit. When looking for a gauge check the ohms for the gauge to match the Chrysler sending unit. You will find loads of the GM style that I think are 0-60 ohms. Good luck with you search.

Wrong, all of Chryslers gauges and senders operate on 80-10 ohms range. The problem we run into is the aftermarkets replacement fuel senders. Although correct at 80-10 range, they are linear so they don't work right with the OEM gauge. So if you do use one of those senders, you'll need the addon Meter Match unit to calibrate the OEM gauge to it or aftermarket gauge that can be calibrated to it. Good luck
 
I also use the Equus 7361 fuel gage in my 66 B-Cuda, and it works perfect with the stock mopar sender. I made a whole set of dash gages around the 7000 series gages. They fit perfect in my dash.
The whole dash is LEDs, as is the rest of the B-Cuda

I looked up what the 1969 factory service manual had to say for Ohm readings.
Empty Stop= 73 ohms + or - 12.0 ohms
Full Stop= 9.6 ohms + or - 1 ohm. If the ohm meter has a error of more than 1 in 10 ohms a accurate value cannot be obtained.
A 64 manual and a 66 manual more or less said the same thing,just worded different.
