new to site. looking for 30 ohm sending unit for 60's mustang tank - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am new to this forum but have been around others. I have been reading this one for quite some time and decided to join. I am looking to put a 60's mustang tank in my 59 fleetside. Anyone know of a 30 ohm sending unit that will work with a 60's tank. I have noticed that tanksinc.com has a universal version of the tank but it costs twice as much as a traditional mustang tank but uses a universal sening unit from the top of the tannk. I am hoping to find the right sending unit so that I can cut costs down by about 150$. Any help would be appreciated.

I got a universal 30 ohm one from Yogi's that I had to modify for my tank (shortened and rotated).

Beanyard, don't make an expensive lesson like I did. I have VDO gauges in my truck when I bought it and had to buy a second sender because I screwed up on the first (no refunds on electrical parts!)
The Fuel gauge Ohm range has to match the sending unit Ohm range.

thanks, I decided not to do the gas tank yet. I know what to keep looking for when it comes to tanks now. I did get a lot done this weekend. I got the fleetside bed off and many pieces ready to coat prior to doing a new wood bed. I also purchased a front and rear sway bar from performance online.

thanks for all the help.
