I've heard for some time that the repro fuel sending units are no good, that you have to have the guage re-calibrated to get them to work. Anyone know anything about this? I need to replace one but if a new one isn't gonna work then there's not much point. Thanks.

I have purchased 2 from In Line Tube and have had ZERO problems. They worked just fine.

Were they a 5/16 or 3/8 size sending unit?

Stay away from Spectra brand...lousy windings in the resistor, been there, done that...was at Carsile and saw that someone is now selling a 1/2" diameter fuel sending unit, for around $100...

Are you in the Indy Mopar Club? Going to the show at Champion Chrysler this afternoon? I haven't been on Moparts for a long time so I'm not familiar with you.

Anyway, the ones that you got are working properly, giving you correct readings? Because all that I've heard for a long time was that none of the repros worked correctly without recalibrating the gauge. And for what they cost they ought to work correctly out of the box.

Michael, What's it cost to have a fuel sender rebuilt on average ? Wish I had known about this several years ago, I went thru two units from Year One & they both did not read correctly, half full is actually full.

I charge $135 to rebuild and calibrate your original sender. The repro's are awful.
