Title: Proper sending units for full digital gauge cluster?
Post by: Driverguy on April 14, 2019, 03:52:25 PM
I am doing the full digital conversion, and cannot seem to pinpoint some hard evidence on what sending units to use (oil, temp, and fuel) 

Many topics on the matter have links to write-ups that don't exist anymore.  Seeing as I cannot call a parts store and get the proper oil and temp sending units for a specific dash, because they are not educated enough to know the difference, I wondered if anyone on here could give me some part numbers.

As for the fuel sending unit, I KNOW I saw a post a while ago where someone gave the resistance of the different sending units for the different gauges, I just cannot seem to find it anymore.  I will not need a factory sending unit, since I am putting a Tanks fuel tank in my car, and just need to know the proper resistance.

Well, I had that thread saved as I will be doing the same conversion, but it appears the new forum software doesn't have a place to view my old subscribed threads? I guess all that info I had tucked away is gone....  :frown:

Here is one that I had saved.

That takes care of my gas gauge, assuming the intel is correct, but how about the oil and coolant senders?  any part numbers on those?

I have the correct coolant sensor "used"
if you are interested.
I will never need it.
There is a cool cat page on them somewhere.
