'60-'66: Do You Need an 0-90 ohm Sending Unit with Stock Gas Tank? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

vin63 · 04-22-2008, 08:06 PM

Do you have the stock gas tank behind the seat, but thinking of installing, or have installed, an aftermarket fuel level gauge? As you probably found out, the 60-66 sending units are 30 ohm and the aftermarket fuel level gauges for GM applications require a 0-90 ohm fuel sending unit to interface properly. I have been building the 1960 through 1966 GM truck OE sending units to work with aftermarket fuel gauges on the weekends for a few years, now. I stopped doing it a couple of years ago since there was a huge trend in relocating the gas tank to under the bed and I didn't receive anymore requests. But recently, I had a few requests, so I thought I would check to see if there are others who are interested before I stop again.

The cost is $150 (includes shipping - slightly more for air service) to your door via insured UPS Ground for a brand new OE sending unit with 0-90 ohm operation.

I am located in SoCal and you can reach me via email at: vincent@mayedamotorsports.com

I have the Dolphins gauges, whick are 90 ohms. I bought Vince's new unit with the conversion and it works very well!! Thanks again Vince. Jeremy.

vin63 · 04-22-2008, 11:45 PM

Thanks for the plug, Jeremy.

vin63 · 04-23-2008, 02:41 PM

Bump...anyone, before I move back onto my own projects in progress?

Thanks.

Thanks, man!

That sending unit must have worked out well for you. My buddy in Arizona, who I did the conversion for about 10 years ago, now, always brings up how he has not run out of gas since. I guess being stranded in 115 degree heat one too many times will do that to a guy.

62 short step · 01-17-2009, 02:10 PM

Yes, it has worked out well! I hav'nt ran out of gas either since I have put it in.

Clausl · 05-06-2009, 11:48 AM

I've been mailing with Vince about a sending unit - I've the same problem with my Dolphin fuel gauge - I'm looking forward to get i fixed :-)

Hi Claus...I should receive the parts on Monday, May 11th, so I I'll be able to mail off the custom sending unit by Friday, May 15th.

Clausl · 05-10-2009, 02:19 PM

Great !

Nothing less than that :-)

Nice to hear! I was a little worried about the international shipping and the package getting damaged enroute.

kenny_strong · 04-03-2010, 07:49 AM

Hey Vin, Are you still converting sending units? I need one for my 66 GMC.

Thank you again for all of your interest.

Are these still available? I have the Dolphin fuel gauge and there's no way the stocker or the one they sent me will work

Bump…

I just finished a batch. $150 shipped (sales tax for California residents).

w00dst0ck · 01-10-2015, 04:54 PM

I need one of these. Pictures?

vin63 · 01-10-2015, 06:27 PM

Unfortunately, there's nothing different to photograph than an OE or OE replacement fuel sending unit. I just build them to operate with the 0-90 ohm fuel gauge. They are dimensionally exactly the same. If you do need one, please send me a private message that you want to order one, and I'll add you to the list to reserve one. I have to build 5 at a time to break even (I don't make any money off of these...just trying to help out fellow truck owners), and I have 2 reserved so far for the next production run at the end of this month. I only save a little on shipping multiple items.

**PGSigns** · 01-11-2015, 10:42 AM

Now if you could mod the stock gauge to work with the 0 to 90 sending unit that would be great. Have you looked into that?

Just did this, it's a 47 ohm 5 watt resistor wired from a good dash ground to the ground terminal on the gauge, seems pretty accurate so far at least from 3\8 of a tank on up, haven't run it out of gas yet to test empty position. Cost approx $1

vin63 · 02-06-2016, 11:36 AM

I have one extra sending unit left of the two extra I built in the production run. Reply here, PM me, or send me an email (vincent@mayedmotorsports.com) if you need a 0-90 ohm OE style fuel sending unit for your stock in-cab gas tank.

vin63 · 02-09-2016, 09:58 AM

Bump...

vin63 · 02-20-2016, 11:07 AM

Saturday bump for the one sending unit left and feedback about making float arm stop adjustments for calibration since calibration between different gauges and brands vary slightly. I bench test each sending unit to an Autometer Ultra-Lite fuel level gauge:

I trimmed the stop a bit until the fuel gauge reads FULL with the float against the stop. Thanks again for the help..

Do you have any sending unit for 62 chevy truck
