Re: Tinkering on the 72 jimmy, may have hurt the engine...Thoughts?
Put insurance on it today and took it for a cruise. Brakes work great now. Get back home, tire goes flat. May have to replace all of them due to age. One step forward, 2....HMMMM i have a set of rally wheels with like new 31x10.5x15s...

They are different but my 70 sending unit is set from 90 ohms at Full, and zero or close to zero at Empty.
Might be time to drop the fuel cell, unless someone else knows a better way. Let me know what happens!

We did have the tank out to clean the old gas out. It is an aftermarket tank i think and we tried to retrofit a different sender. I wasn't there when it went back together however.
Thanks for the tip.
