Kaiser Guages

[tom36]

I picked up a nice 51 Kaiser instrument cluster for the "next" project (just gathering parts right now).  It is of course 6 volts.  I know about the Ford and Chrysler instrument  voltage regulators, and I can use a shunt on the amp meter, and on a Kaiser site I found  that International truck oil pressure sender will work.  Now I need to know what temperature sender will work and if anyone knows what the ohms range on the original fuel sender is.  Any guesses?  thanks, Tom...

Look at the gauges, I think they are Stewart warner, if so, standard SW senders usually work.

Nope, King Seely.  Didn't Fords of the 40's use King Seely ?

My 1954 Motors Manual  shows the diag & operation  for Ford & King-Seely fuel guages being the same..Nothing specific...Ground the tank sender wire..Fuel guage pegs..Guage ok.."Replace tank sender"......Guage doesn't peg..Guage bad ..Sender ok..."Replace Guage" ...Other problems ..... " Ask Frank"    :?:  :?:      :

Strange.... :?  :?

If they are King seely gauges, Ford senders should work.

Okay then, that's the direction I'll head off in. Thanks for the input
