1986 vs 1987 fuel gauge sender ohm values
Hey everyone! Im trying to get my fuel gauge working in my 86 F150 with the 4.9L. Priced out a fuel sender and they want $200+ for a new sender. I have an 87 sitting here for parts so for kicks I pulled the fuel sender out of the tank. I think I can pop the fuel sender off the pickup assembly of the 87 and it will pop into place in my 86. Question being: When did ford change the ohm value range on these senders? I know it was after the bull nose 80-86's but was hoping that it was in the 90's and that this sender would work in my 86?? Anyone know for sure what year they changed??
Thanks!
Thanks!

I believe its 120 ohms full and 15 ohms empty. I know we installed one in the truck and with no fuel in the tank it was reading 3/4 full.
