I have an 81 Malibu with a 98 Camaro LS1/T56 pull out swap that I purchased from a friend recently. He had some digital cyberdyne gauges in it that didn't really jive with the LS1 set up so he gave me the stock 98 cluster. I've gotten nearly everything figured out except the fuel gauge. It's hooked up to the wire the cyberdyne was and it worked (albeit with some weird number system) but when I wire it to the stock cluster it goes to E immediately. I know I have nearly half a tank of fuel in it.
The great part about this set up is that he had the pigtail from the cluster already labeled for the corresponding wires so hook up was super easy. I re-checked it on LS1 Tech and they are all labeled right.
The question is what OHM rating is the 81 in tank sender? It should be the 0-90 one which is good since the 98 cluster accepts the 0-90 set up. If it is then what do you guys think I need to look at to get it to work?
The fuel sender isn't stuck either since the old gauge counted down in these odd increments of 9 starting with ful, 169, 159, ect.
Thanks. Alex.
