gas tank question

I know that other guys have installed a Falcon gas tank....what are they using for a sending unit? I have searched several threads and cant seem to find the information regarding the sending unit.

I was just thinking the same think. I have a 65 falcon and I don't think that swap is one I thought of.

Re: gas tank question

I'm admittedly not 100 percent sure, but wouldn't the fuel level sender need to be more compatible with the fuel level gauge than the actual tank? Obviously the sending unit must be calibrated for the tank.

Yes a F**D Falcon tank ....here is a link to one installed on another thread here, it is post #4 http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...ht=falcon+tank

Our stock tanks sending unit is 0 - 90 hms the Ford Falcon has one that is 12 - 98 ohms I believe. How do you calibrate or is there another way around this because the tank fits perfectly in without hanging down. I dont want a rear fill because I have a hidden hitch already.
