I had the same problem when I mixed a later type fuel sender (post '67 I
believe), with an earlier gauge.
The earl sender produces a resistance of approximately 100 ohms when full, 10
when empty. The later type produces about 15 when full and 260 when empty.
The result was that the gauge showed VERY full when the tank was empty, and
empty when it was actually full. Fitting the original type sender fixed the
problem.

|I installed a repro sending unit in my '65 Midget, positive ground.
|
|the guage reads full when empty, empty when full.
|
|I've searched the archives, haven't been able to find solution.

|Any solutions? it's probably a very simple matter, but I'm
|little shaky
|experimenting mixing electricity and gasoline.
