Re: 49 tank sending unit

The "pulse" unit as described in the above post send an intermittent signal on/off and the relationship of the on/off times determines the gauge reading. In all other 35-56 Packard systems there is a winding at the top end of the tank unit with a "wiper" that is positioned by the float arm.

While I am not familiar with the electronics I believe the two are completely incompatible like putting a Crosley rear fender on a Packard to replace a front.

As I said, if it were simple I think it would have been solved in the past 70 years. Yes, someone else on the forum has tried but cries of "EUREKA" have been absent.
