LS Swap camaro gas gauge
 
I am swapping a 5.3 into my 67c10 and want to use the camaro instrument panel since it has more gauges and will hook up fairly easy. But I am lost on the fuel gauge since it is 33-240 ohms and my fuel sender is 90 ohms. Has anyone got a clue how to make the fuel gauge work? I have searched and if the info is out there I missed it.
Thanks Randy

The first thing I thought of was to change the sending unit in the tank.

Yeah me too, but I called Tanks inc, & Year one neither make a 33-250 sender that will fit a 69 camaro tank. Its new and I hate not to use it. And using the camaro instrument panel is going to make all my other LS sensors work easy. Win some, lose one I guess.

Thanks VetteVet, I never could pull those threads up when I tried to search. Clinebarger looks to have some good info, but his gauge is not reading right yet. He is sharp on some of this stuff. I talked to the guy that made the 3rd post, he sold truck before the gauge worked. Thanks again for info it narrows the options down.

Im pretty sure there is a setting in hp tuners that you can set the minimum and maximum resistance values to latch your sender. So if you change those values to match the camaro you can use the fuel gauge output from the pcm for your gauge input.
