Does anybody know of an aftermarket fuel gauge that works with the factory sender?
We're finishing off the GT Racing dash and need to put in a fuel gauge. Since the factory unit is part of the cluster, we can't use that, so I'm looking for a nice gauge that we can fit into the new dash.
Anybody know of one that works?
Thanks,
Jason

Yes I did...I 've got Autopower gauges. The only problem is the resistance isn't the same, so the fuel gauge reads 1/4 tank higher than what's actually in your tank.
If you can live with that, then you'll be all set.

The Autometer Guage for Fords before 1989 works. e.g. Product # 4715
This has a range of 73 Ohm Empty, 10Ohm Full
According to Clarks garage the sender of a 944 after mid 85 has a resistance of 63 Ohm empty, 2.8 Ohm full. So if you you want full to be accurate, put a 7 Ohm resistor in series. If you prefer empty to be right, use 10 Ohm.
