Looking at getting a 0-90ohm fuel gauge for my '69 RR. Anyone else use this 0-90 range and will it work. My factory gauge won't work the gauge is messed up. I have a new factory style sending unit.

You should be using a 10-70 ohm gauge with a factory sender.
I am finding Autometer showing 73-10ohm is for Chrysler, anyone buy one like this for a factory Chrysler sending unit?

Thanks, Gus!
Also grancuda, just an "FYI", this is what Auto Meter told me with regards to the use of reproduction "factory" senders - which I'm guessing is what you installed:
The gauges are calibrated to match a factory sender, which is very non-linear. 10 ohms = Full, 25 ohms = 1/2, 50 ohms = Empty, and 73 ohms = below Empty. With this said, most after market, or reproduction senders are built linear which means that E & F will be correct, but everything in between will be skewed.
