Will S/W gauges work with stock sending units?

Yep! Sometimes a manufacturer will spec an ohm resistance for there gauge. It doesn’t make sense to us but for them, you have to purchase there material so they make the money of everything. This way you just can’t run out and grab a generic or manufactures sending unit and be back up and running in a jiff.

I thinks it’s bullshit but that’s how it is. Crappy, I know.

that was the problem i ran into. the spec for the SW gauges was just different enough from autometer and universal that they either flat *** wouldn't work or the reading was inconsistent enough to give me pause. i'm sure there could be a work around but i just splashed the $30 for the SW temp sender and tacked it onto a summit order and bit the bullet with the fuel gauge and banged up my card at tanks inc, again.
