[Ollie Patterson <satellite1965@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Dennis C....
I have a 65 Satellite that I  replaced the dash board in. I to was not 
looking for a orginal rebuild either.  I was building "Ollie's Muscle Car"

All my gauges are Autometer. Tack, Speedo, fuel, water temp, oil pressure, 
amp, oil and transmission temp.

I ordered the fuel gauge complete with sending unit from Autometer but the 
sending unit did not fit the tank as they said it would. Bought a new 
sending unit from Kramer and used the gauge closest to the ohms reading 
Autometer  had. After bypassing the reduced voltage and wiring direct....it 
works good enough for me. It stays on full until about 1/2 tank and runs out 
of fuel at 1/8 tank on the gauge. Gets the job done and have not ran out of 
fuel but one time testing the gauge.

Be glad to send u pics.

Have fun with your Fury...Ollie
