[FC] Fuel Sender Question

[Dale Dewald]

Hello Keith,

The only thing that makes me think twice is that the front engine Chevy 
Van, introduced in 1964, used the same dashboard as the Corvair/FC 
line.  The same dash was also used for the 1965-66 Chevy Van and Sportsman 
(window van replacement for the Greenbrier).  For 1967 the van models were 
upgraded (curved windshield, etc) and shared the dashboard with the full 
sized Chevy/GMC trucks.  The interesting question would be if the '64-66 
Chevy Van line used a 0-30 ohm sender to match the Corvair style dash.

It only occurred to me today that I could measure the resistance of the 
sender by disconnecting the lead under the dash and using an ohmmeter.  I 
filled the tank with stabilized fuel back in November so it should read 
close to 30 (or 90) ohms.
