If you are referring to the MGA guru links that describe re calibrating then=
take note. The MGA uses a Jaeger gauge and sender rated at 68ohms on full t=
ank. The Smiths gauges should be calibrated to 90ohms at full. If the send=
er is a repro measure the maximum resistance before starting down the route o=
f building a rig.
My repro from Ahead 4 Healeys reads 107ohms at max!
Best.
