Spectra fuel sending unit
A few things.
This was completely functioning in 1988 when the car was put up for 25 years and always seemed very close to 90+% accuracy. It looks bad and meter testing is all over the place and inconsistent.
Thus being, I was concerned when resto started in 2012 and the tank was a mess!
I sourced a new tank and Pickup/sender that was Spectra brand. It was not as accurate as I had hoped for on initial resto/re-fire in 2014. Based on the amount of fuel I put in.
I did update my full gauges with Charger Specialties units a year after life began "again" for the fish in late 2015. Since then my Fuel gauge has been pretty Damn accurate!!
Never mind the 3/8 line to feed the 800AVS! All the line at resto was increased to 3/8. The 5/16 line may have even been some cause for vapor locking issues from the past!
Moral of the story is, do not just blame the newer aftermarket design. There may be more contributing factors involved.
