I came across this tonight while looking for replacement Non Linear Fuel Sending Units for our MOPARs.

http://technoversions.com/MeterMatchHome.html

I am going to call them Monday and will more then likely order one.

Sure looks like promising solution/fix for all of the mismatched Factory dash gauges and Aftermarket Linear (instead of non linear) tank sending units.

The unit is a little pricey, but if it corrects the dash gauge readings it would be worth the cost.

I have now installed this device.

Here is a discription of my setup.

"Home-Brewed" aluminum fuel tank. Just short of 18 gallons.

Tank is 10" deep ans is basicly the same shape as a stock tank.

The Fuel sending unit in the tank is also "Home-Brewed".

It is made from a "universal" gauge mounting unit which is adjustale up and down for depth.

The "sender" portion is a non linear (73 - 10 ohm) unit from a late model a body with the float arm length increased for the extra tank depth.

The dash gauge is a Autometer Sport Comp II short sweep (73 - 10 ohm) unit.

SO, nothing is even close to factory

With that said, This little device dose seem to work fairly well.

It has four correction points.

Low (empty)

Low Mid (somewhere between 1/4 and 1/2 tank)

High Mid (somewhere between 1/2 and 3/4 tank)

High (full)

I have both empty and full set pretty much dead on.

Half tank is now real close.

!/4 and 3/4 are "close" but not right on.

I set the readings with the tank on the floor with extension wires to ground and the sending wire to the front.

I added "WATER" 1 gallon at a time to the desired depth and then set each point with the Meter Match.

Again, to be fair, I do not know how well this would work with a stock tank and the "aftermarket" LINEAR sending units.

I would think that it would offer a pretty good correction.

With your design and differences between the tank, sender, and guages I can see how this would be a nice device to have.
 
THANK YOU!!! We were just "talking about you" the other day, and I could not remember!!!
 
That is a good device to know about..50 dollars and a couple of hours is not bad for having some peace of mind ..tx..j
 
Could you take the sender out of the car and manually set what would be low and high ?

Did it come with detailed instructions ? And can you locate at the back of the car so you don't need to pull the gauge cluster out ?

Thanks
 
The problem with "all" (most) the repop senders seems to be not enough range. That means you could set it for high, would not read low, and vice versa.

There was a post awhile back someone recommended a supplier. I'll try 'n find it..........
