SWP fuel gauge question

[Silent]

alright, got all my gauges in, but my speedo, still trying to figure out how to do that without spending 100 bucks.

 

anwyays, the fuel level gauge, when i got the gage it had some sort of resistor on the back of it. no biggie, hoked the wires up, gauge no movey. alright, so i took the resistor off. gauge moves, gauge moves to 3/4, then moves to full. now i know for a fact i had half a tank in the car before i started this.

 

the yellow wire on the back of the stock gauge is the wire i used for the sending unit in the tank, "said unit on the back of thes tock gauge, so i gave it a shot"

 

now, do i need to hook that resistor up? for the simple fact if i take a corner, IE right had turn, the gauge drops really fast to half, where ina sense is supposed to be, or left hand it jumps over full.

 

the gauge is a 73-10 gauge {closest to dastun}

 

did a search, and came up with autmoeter crap. called a buddy of mine who has a fuel level gauge from the same company, but his didn't have a resistor.

 

orrrrrrrrrrr

could i vari the voltage going from the gauge to the sendor with a variblae resistence dealy bob {poteniaometer, yes i suck at big words}

 

all my other gauges read fast and damn accurate {tach is great!}

 

im not looking forward to tearing my dash apart again to fix the gauge, but if it needs that resistor. im willing to do it. and i understand that it will be an 1/8th of a tank off in reading. no big deal.

 

 

 

HELP!!!!!

ah po0py, i find it hard to believe no one is running a stewart warner gauge.
