Gas tank sending unit OHMS?

[kencombs]

Anybody have info on the full  to empty resistance range on a 56 pickup fuel tank sender?  I don't see any jumps or spikes when movingit up/down, but have no info on the actual values.  Took mine off and would like to confirm it's good before reinstalling after the frame gets painted.

According to DCM Classics the range is 90 - 0 ohms.  I bought one of their sending units and it's installed but not yet tested.

Thanks, that is a common range.  I'm thinking of replacing the gauges with the standard round style, and going with a voltage gauge instead of amps.  My stockers have gotten water in them at some point and a good rebuild is expensive.  I have everything out for rewire and repaint anyway so making a new insert isn't a big deal, and the gauge expecting 90 is readily available.
