sending unit

I plan on changing out my sending unit on my 70, but i was just wondering how do it? See probably 8 small screw on top of the gas tank, i would assume take those out but after that what do i do?
Thank you for any help

Any particular reason for removing the fuel sender? The sender is designed specifically for you gauge if stock. Stock sender has 6 hold-down screws.

 

after removing the screws it should just lift out...sometimes you have to angle them a little but not a big deal

 

yes i want to change it because it has a 4 cyl sending unit in it and i want to put the 6 cyl, so the gas gauge will work.

 

??

 

thats just what i was told, that it has the incorrect sending unit

 

"it has a 4 cyl sending unit in it and i want to put the 6 cyl." Did they tell you to change the blinker oil too?

Maybe they meant a 6 volt versus 12 volt system?

 

The sender is a variable resistor therefore it is not voltage sensitive. Is your tank under the drivers seat or under the back of the jeep. We need more info to troubleshoot this problem before we go swapping parts.

 

http://home.comcast.net/~sday77/binky/index.htm There is alot of good info on this web site when it comes to the fuel gauge. Got mine working today with this sites help. It tells you how to check gauge and sending unit.

 

Agreed, lets slow down and diagnose this issue before we start pulling parts and spending money on what could be the wrong part(s).
