Fuel Sender vs. Gauge Values. Chrysler or AMC?

Trying to get a working fuel gauge after some... 12-15yrs. Got a new sender and an Equus gauge. Reads 1/2 on empty like before. Here's my dumb question. Does the sender present 10-75ohms or 33-240ohms (can't remember the exact numbers but it's Chrysler vs. AMC). It's a '76 CJ-7 but I had to order a '79 sender 'cause the '76 is out of production. Should've been the same sender, right? Think they're identical from '76 through '80s. Was there a change? Am I all wrong? Did I just get the wrong part? Best Regards, Drink

Thanks Bill. That site pretty much hammers the whole thing. It'll be nice to ditch my old fuel level indicator; a gas can. Sure, it was rugged and never, ever failed to indicate when I was out o' gas, but definitely old school and kind of embarrassing from time to time. Still waitin' for someone to say, "Real Jeeps don't have gas gauges.!" Drink

On real jeeps you can 'thump the gas tank because you are sitting right on top of it.

On my first chevy you could reach behind the seat and tap the gas tank. :/

That must have been just about the end for those tanks, Riley's '74 Chevy had the infamous exploding saddle tanks.
