Fuel Level Sender

It works!
As we all know, the fuel level sender is not that great. It's OK, and it works; in it's own way. But we all know it could be better.
A couple of weeks ago, someone posted on the FB group about this new Holley IR sender. Looked like the perfect thing, so I ordered one from Summit Racing. They said it was B/O until the end of May, But I received it in about a week.
Installation is pretty straight forward. It only took me about an hour. The stock sending unit has two wires - ground and gauge. The new one also needs power. I pulled that from the electric fuel pump next door.
I cut the pigtail off the original sender, and used that for the new one. Made it a simple plug in.
The bolt pattern is an exact match, and uses the same thread pitch for the new longer screws.
I still need to mess with the calibration a bit, but it works prefectly. Nice a smooth, appears to be pretty accurate. We'll see how it goes on the next road trip. 🙂
At some point, I want to change the gauges to something better. All I will need to do is recalibrate the sender.
I'm pretty happy about this. 🙂
