Vixen Fuel Gauge

[JeffT]

Does anyone know what the Ohm rating is for the stock AC fuel gauge in a Vixen?

Thanks,-Jeff

Don't know if mine was an original, but it had two coils inside, which were adjustable, and it 'mostly worked' with a standard Ford temp sender. I *think* it would probably be something like 60 ohms, but not sure.

I can tell you what the temp senders should be, if it helps....did a bit of research for kit car swops.

I bought a fuel tank off of e-bay that fits in the TVR http://www.ebay.com/itm/1934-35-CHEVY-STANDARD-STE...

The new tank is baffled and the float on the fuel sender hits the baffle. I did bend the arm on the float to get it to "mostly work". But the bolt pattern is different on the top of the sender and I will have to modify the sender to bolt to the tank.

The company that sold the tank does offer a sender but I need to know the ohm range that the gauge works at to match the sender with the fuel gauge.

Thanks,-Jeff

Good find. Have you trial fit it yet?

The company that sold the tank said:

"Accepts All 5-Hole Senders - VDO, SW, Classic, etc."

You should be able to find something.

Best,

Fits perfect in the car. Ordered this fuel sender: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&...
