I'm having few problems with the fuel sender on my '63 IIa. It has been
converted to negative earth and has a Delco alternator with internal
regulator, both many years ago.
The original sender never worked since the day I bought the truck several
years ago, so a while back and I replaced it with a neg grnd version. OK, it
reads backwards, a little confusing when changing from one Series truck to
another, but it was working.
I recently bought one of the NOS positive grnd senders from Robbers North.
When I installed it it would read only up to half full and then down to empty
(and yes, I did bend the float arm for a more accurate level reading). It
functions and reads in the right direction, but only up to half full. I
exchanged this sender for another ... same problem. The neg grnd sender gave
me full travel, it just reads backwards (full is empty, etc.).
I checked the pos sender and the neg sender on a meter and the neg sender
gave readings of almost double the pos sender. Does the conversion to the
alternator / regulator have anything to do with this?
Any ideas?
