I'd read the tons of threads here already.. search for fuel pump upgrade or 255 in tank..or something related. the info is here in abundance. -
I think you have what he asking about mixed up with running a different ground wire to bypass the resistor wire for the single in-tank pump conversion.Originally posted by BrianO View Post
He wants to use a newer sending unit which has a different resistance within the wiper assembly.
Why are you wanting to use a later model sending unit?Originally posted by runningpony98 View PostLast edited by NavySVO; 05-21-2009, 07:10 AM.Comment

level sender!!!! duh...you are correct, missed that.
all I know is you need a specific one because the resistance is backwards from the 87-93 to our models. you can still buy them new though, might be a better option.Comment

You can still buy the correct ones new too! Just installed one in my tank a couple of weeks ago and it works great. Go to Latemodel Restoration Supply. I would suggest purchasing a new locking ring with the sender, too. It already comes with a seal.
One note on the new locking ring, mine were a little large in the OD, so I had to grind off a small amount to fit.Ted

well the reason for the rewire is that when i put in the other NEWER tank i had i forgot to remove the svo sending unit and put it in the new tank and the factory tank has since been discarded. i feel like such a tool lolComment
-
new ones aren't that expensive, just make sure it's for 84-86 or your gauge will read backwards.. LOLComment

hey there
This is for those who have purchased the new sending unit. I am in need of a new one myself my car didnt have the correct one in it when i got it. Ive tried to locate that site 50restore and locate the right unit with no luck. I get the site but cant find 84 -86 svo specific unit. Do you a part number or perhaps and link in the right direction? maybe both.....lol. i'll take a phone if thats all you got.

im not having any luck finding the new sending unit. I keep getting told out of stock or discontinued. So would it be that difficult to change to a later style sending unit? if you had an 87- 93 send unit and a gauage from the same year shouldnt it work? I'd think that the wiring would be the same just you would need a guage that would to be able to unstand the signal from the sender right?1984 1E Getting major HORSEPOWER overhaulComment

yeah, you can use the newer sender, it just causes your gauge to read backwards.Eric C

oh hey would a sending unit from an 86 Turbo Coupe work? There is on of those in a junkyard here by me (well if it is still there).1984 1E Getting major HORSEPOWER overhaulComment

I really doubt it. Call 50resto and ask if they have them. They had them on their website before changing it, so they probable goofed it up and didn't relist it.
Also, have you called PPI? they are a club vendorLast edited by NavySVO; 08-05-2009, 09:43 AM.Comment

I called 50resto(late model restoration supply) and they told me that it had been discontinued. I also called John's Mustang in TX I ordered it up and then about five mins later they called me back said their supplier was out of stock and didnt know when or if ever they would have it back in stock. I haven't tried that PPI but I will. Think I may have had some 2.3 emblems bought for me one christmas from them. Thanks for the info navy.
