I just put a Spectra in my Charger, nice and no problems. If you change the sender use your old lock ring and most remans are junk. Dixie might still have some good ones.

I had heard good regard Spectra also & been some good reports on them but then there was something way back about some counterfeit/knockoff spectras or something of that nature if you can find that info. Google might be a start. something about the welds iirc.

I got a Spectra setup ordered. Most expensive was oreilly, then summit, and finally the cheapest buy a lot was autozone. Really? Then I found a 10% off coupon as well as free shipping and I'm good. I didn't check Jegs.

Spectra Premium has some decent stuff. If your gas gage works, I recommend keeping your existing sending unit/pickup, maybe even repair the pickup. Aftermarket sending units seem to be hit or miss.
