Re: Fuel sender & 12V conversion on a 1953 Clipper.

If it doesn't kick out 5V, I'll go with a modernized IC or a Ford regulator.
It is a pulsing output between 0v and 12v (or 6v) with a frequency on duration to give an average level of a 5v output. On most meters the pulsing will be hard to read as 5v with an ordinary meter. Here is the output as viewed with a scope and what the regulator looks like. The heater bends the bimetal strip to work the contacts. How fast it opens and closes the contacts depends on load and voltage in.
