[19Fordy]

Much thanks to 51woodie for posting that fuel tank sending unit drawing. I took photos of it that may make it easier to read when you click on it. It's a must have drawing. Print them out for future reference. The 01A-9275-A part # is for 1938 to 1940 Ford cars.

I am still wondering how to decode the color bands on the carbon resistor inside the unit. My thinking is that perhaps a modern resistor could be used in its place as I broke a resistor.

Or, maybe I am incorrect in assuming it's a resistor. Electronics is not my strong point. Can someone take an ohm reading off it with a meter? Or, is it some other type of component. Anyone know what Ford called it and what was it's purpose?

Notice that the info. box in 4th photo is for a 12V fuel tank sending unit. Where were they used? Would be neat to see the gauge cluster that was used with that unit and in what vehicles it was used. Perhaps fire trucks, airplanes, heavy construction/industrial applications? Anyone know? Thank you.
