Gauge Questions

I have a 66LB, Fleet side, large window. The old gas gauge reads 1/4 to 3/4 and the needle moves around a lot, so I want to add a new gauge that will tell me when I'm approaching empty! Oh course this leads to pulling the gauge cluster out and dropping in a 5 hole custom panel (just can't seem to do one little project at a time). Does anyone know what Ohms (0-30?) I need to get?

Re: Gauge Questions

you are going to run the stock sender? if so 0-30 is correct. you might want to check your sender for problems before you are convinced the gauge will fix the problem....
