Beautiful '66, not mine

[Rebellion]

Hi all,

In my 'Member's Projects & Restorations' thread, Loulang and I were talking about the Frankenmuth (Michigan) car show. It, by the way is a great show!

Anyway, the following pictures are of a beautiful blue '66 Charger. This car is usually at this show...I believe the owner to be local. The owner (who's name escapes me unfortunately) is a retired paint and body guy. Extremely nice guy. He did the work on this car and I think it's striking!

New Here. I have a 67 Charger with gas gauge problem. Bought car recently with gauge not working. When full it only registers about 1/3 full.
Pulled tank and installed new sending unit, ( Tested with ground on outside and both old and new unit made dash gauge work fine. ) It appears the float hits top of the tank and
can not register above 1/3 full. All the sending units I see on line for it look identical. Even considered replacing tank and sending unit from same seller, but the units pictured all look exact as the two I have as does the tank. ( Tank is 19 gallon model that must have been a replacement , but looks same as what I see online ) How can float be taller than tank top / Any ideas what I am missing? Thx

Nice car!! I have a white hat special as well.
If you could put about a 70 ohm resistor on the sender wire it should read full. I believe

Sounds like you may need to bend the float arm downwards.

Could be a bad sender or bad ground if the resistor idea does not work (From above post). While working on it switch out the fuel gauge limiter to a RTE limiter IVR3 if you have not done already.
RTE limiter - rte

Not that we should be doing this on this thread jump. BUT... TEN ohms on the sender wire reads FULL. 71 or so reads Empty...

Beautiful car, beautiful interior. I like how the rear seat folds down so that very, very little people can sit there.
