Sending unit difference 84 and 89? fuel gauge wont read now

Hey guys,

I am installing a new sending unit from an 89 into my 84 T/A. The connectors are keyed the same but now my gauge is pegged at way passed full. Any thoughts on why this is? Is the sending unit from the 89 using different value than my 84 gauge wants to see?

Yes there is a difference.

The potentiometer has a different Ω value.


Happy Racing!
