Fuel Sender Resistance

Hi,

Does anyone know what the full and empty resistances are of a mk3 capri fuel sender? Or have one lying around that they could test?

cheers

Cheers for the comments.

When I had the 2.8 on carb, it was the same bhp/torque as the injection system (had an RR session in both forms). The power delivery was much better in my opinion, gave the engine more low down grunt with the carb, and seemed to rev a bit free-er.

I am also a bit confused lol I had my 2.8i capri on the rollers last year, completely stock, and it made 145bhp at the flywheel, (ford originally claimed 160bhp for the 2.8 ). (This read out is after having a carb conversion but it made the same power as with injection) http://i5.photobucket.com/alb...

Capri 2.8 on Carburretor

While back converted my 2.8 capri to run on Carb, was quite impressed at the outcome, and the extra pull you get through the gears :D

This was the final dyno printout after the carb/ignition was set up
