Got a new fuel gauge some time back that reads wrong. I forget the ohms but they matched a one from a list of old Chevrolet ohm values. Would someone be kind enough to share a Napa, Parts Plus, ect Ford rheostat part number?
Thanks'

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking for. Do you need the resistance values of the sending unit? If so, 73 ohms empty and 10 ohms full. I doubt that's what you are looking for but I need some more info please.

That helps, thanks'. If I am aloud to test a few without buying them I can pin it down and share the part number. The rheostat is the electrical part that you measured the resistance on. Years ago I found an online value chart. The new gas gauge from LMC and Carpenter measured up against a common GM from mid 60's to late 70's.
