    Fuel Gauge Resistance

    Am swapping SpeedHut classic gauges to replace the base FFR set. Can I tap into the harness at the dash or do I need to run the SpeedHut gauge wire from the tank?

    I love the smell of 100 octane in the morning.

    No reason to run new wires if the existing ones are OK. The resistance range is in the sending unit itself. The sending units included in the kits typically calibrate to the Speedhut 16-158 ohms range.
