RPMS Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 Howdy, Gents. I once visited someone's site who put a GM sending unit in a Datsun gas tank to supply signal to an Autometer gauge. Anyone know whose page that's on? Or can anyone tell me what sending unit they used? Was it from a Geo Metro? Anyone? Anyone?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrayZee Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 you can use the autometer gauge (for fords) on a datsun sending unit. the ohm readings are very close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pparaska Posted January 30, 2002 Share Posted January 30, 2002 I have a method for using a Ford type gage (Autometer) and the Datsun sender on my site: http://members.home.net/pparaska/gagecalibration.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPMS Posted February 3, 2002 Author Share Posted February 3, 2002 Thanks, Pete. Every time I go to your page, I see something new! GrayZee, I don't know what sender you're using, but mine REALLY didn't like the stock ohm readings. It read 3/4 when the tank was less than 1/4 full, and when I filled the tank, it really buried the needle. I think I may have even overloaded something in the gauge, since it still reads super-high when I disconnect the power. *sigh* I guess nobody said that anything on this journey was going to be EASY, did they?!?!

GrayZee Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 At the moment I have the autometer oil and temp mechanical gauges, I haven't bought the fuel gauge "yet" I just knew that the ohm readings were quite close to stock. I guess I'll have to think about using some resistors if it is that much of a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
