I don't think the sender is the problem in many cases, its 50 year old wiring/connections/gauges. To verify you can test the sender. I've had 3 aftermarket sending units and they all test out per the FSM. All you need is an ohmmeter.

I wasted money on a repro sending unit that I couldn't calibrate with my fuel gauge on the bench. I found a NOS unit at Carlisle last year that was spot on. I suggest you try to find a NOS unit or send yours out for rebuilding. Send it out where?

I put one of these on my '69 Super Bee w/ aftermarket sending unit. https://www.technoversions.com/MeterMatchHome.htmlWas a bit of a chore to set up (drain, measure, fill tank), but it is works great now! No more anxiety about how much fuel is in the tank because I know exactly how much there is.

Stupid question for most folks... what does NOS stand for? I see it often when looking for parts for my 68 NOS stands for New Old Stock. Its means a brand new 30,40,50 year old part. Its old but still new meaning it was never used.

Stupid question for most folks... what does NOS stand for? I see it often when looking for parts for my 68 NOS stands for "expensive"... Actually stands for New Old Stock. Parts that are unused, hence the term "new", but they were produced 30, 40, or maybe 50 years ago, hence the term "old".

Thanks for the information. My friend is trying to get his fuel gauge to work properly on his '66 Dart. I will pass it on to him.

There used to be a guy who advertised in Hemmings years ago that would rebuilt your sending unit and calibrate your gauge at the same time. Might be worth checking out the ads to see if he's still around. I think he was called the "clock doc", but not sure. Good luck !
