    Gauge inputs

    Dear Panthers,

    I'm buying new gauges http://www.newvintageusa.com/images/3725x-02.jpg for my 89Cp and they need to know fuel gauge sender ohms and whether the speedo sender is bale or integrated. Please advise.

    Your speedometer has a cable driven input. There's also a vehicle speed sensor that's used to tell the computer how fast you're going. On 90+ models that also told the speedometer how fast you were going.

            from the 86 Towncar manual, at full the sender reads between 8 and 12 ohms, and at empty it reads between 60 and 86 ohms. Bench test uses 10 ohms for full, 73 ohms for empty. I won' swear the wagon sender is identical though. if anyone has an EVTM for an 89 Ford/Mercury, it should be in there, or in the body, chassis, electrical book as well.
