Okay-here's an easy one. I installed a gas tank from a '70 Suburban in my '62 one ton duallie. Is the sender going to play nice with my gas gauge,or did GM change the (resistance?-impedance?) somewhere between those years? I've heard from a parts man here that it might be different,but I was told by a "Chevy Guru" that they didn't change it until '72/'73. I guess I could just try it-worst it could do is burn up the gauge or sender,and I'm not that sure either one of them is on very solid ground anyway.
