Sending unit solution

[62stepside longbox]

For those of you relocating your tank under the bed and wanting to keep your stock has gauge I have a cheap solution. My tank going under the bed is a 69 Nova tank which has a 90 ohms sending unit, with the factory system in the truck being 30 ohms this would not work. What I have done is taken the sending unit from my new tank and taken off the ''transmitter'' part. I then took the transmitter off the 30 ohm sending unit and bent and cut the float arm to exactly match the 90 ohm float arm. I then tacked the modified 30 ohm transmitter onto the sending unit for the new tank and soldered the electrical connections then took the float from the 90 ohms unit and put it on the 30 ohms unit. I tested with the multimeter and it works. Be careful when welding not to put to much heat on the components or they may not work.
Here is the 30 ohms transmitter shaped the same as the 90 ohms one.
