Think we discussed this on previous posts. Fuel gauge oscillates wildly with about a half tank of fuel. Now it's starting to damage gauge. Pointer hangs on facia plate screw.

Replacement sending unit and tank fuel pickup nonexistant from CR. On backorder.

Problem could be a defective sending unit, or bad ground. Whichever, the tank has to come out, and the car taken off the street while I repair it. Looking to have parts to fix it on hand to minimize down time.

Got a 0 - 90 ohm sender from JC Whitney for $15. Can use it for circuit diagnostics, and install it if it solves the problem. Fairly decent quality part for fifteen bucks.

As a backup, got Autometer replacement gauge and sender, both 240 - 33 ohm, the only option for sending unit from AM.

Keep you posted as this progresses. You never realize how much you'll miss your tank gauge until it doesn't work, and you have to track your mileage.
