fuel gauge problem, 71 chassic bronco II body does anyone sell this part i need?

[bremsa]

Hi there everyone, Im having a little problem, The thing Is that I have a 86 ford bronco II on a 71 chassic. I have 2x stock 71 fuel tanks in the car but no fuel gauge, Does anyone make a fuel gauge that I can put into the car without having to change the sending unit in the tank itself (hope you guys know what I mean) would really love it if someone makes aftermarked gauge that I can put ontop of the dashboard with the watertemp and oilpressure gauges.

Thanks guys,

The stock sending units were 70 ohms to 10 ohms. If the current fuel tanks still have the stock 71 Bronco sending units, look for aftermarket gauges that specify that resistance range. Like this one:

Note the "Sender Ohm Range" as "73 ohms empty, 10 ohms full".

Have you tried hooking up the guage you have? If you pull one of the sending units you can try the guage out at both full and empty to see if it will work if not you might be able at adapt a stock 71 guage to fit the bronco II dash I know theres not much differance in size. or you could just remark the Bronco II guage to read correctly.
