AzStar Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 For those that have used aftermarket gauges.... Some fuel gauges are calibrated for "Ford and Chrysler" "GM" etc. based upon the OHMS range on the fuel sending unit. Anyone know what the range is for the OEM fuel sender on the STARQUESTS?

AzStar Posted November 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 It's in the FSM, www.starquestgarage.com. Scott Thanks Scott.... I tried to find it in my service manual but didn't look in the right place. The .pdf allowed me to do a word search and voila!The GM version of the gauge 0-90 ohm (+/- 10 ohms) (E-F) is the closest to the 1-5 E and 110-117 F of the OEM sender.

You can use a GM gauge and its going to be a little off? I'm in the same boat and need to figure something out for a fuel gauge. Please let me know what you end up doing. Thanks.

When the tank was full gauge would read high... but should be ok when it got to empty.Perhaps there are gauges out there that are adjustable ... but this is what I've found so far.

Convette Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 I see. I think I'm going to pick up a cheap $16 equis from oriely's and see what that does. Just as long as i have some sort of reference.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AzStar Posted November 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 (edited) Let me know how that works because that was exactly my plan.... and you are well ahead of me at this point. Some more research here.... The Auto Meter Ultra-Lite Fuel Gauge 4310 is fully adjustable.The directions can be seen at the Auto Meter site. Looks like the calibrtion will require about two beers and some head scratching but should be doable.
