Using a VDO fuel gauge with the OEM Pantera sender - please advise where to place a resistor.

Hi Gang,

I've changed all (4) gauges in my center console, and I will be using this VDO fuel gauge:

https://www.vdo-gauges.com/ins...-ohm-sender-12v.html

The gauge is meant for use with a 240-33 Ohm sender, while the OEM Pantera sender is 200-0 Ohms, according to this older (closed) thread:

https://pantera.infopop.cc/top...420566454#1640065215

It seems that I could add a 35-40 Ohm resistor somewhere in the fuel level measuring circuit and end up with a very good pairing to VDO #301-195.

Here's the question:

Exactly where would this resistor be inserted into the circuit?

- Between the gauge and the sender signal wire?

- Between the gauge ground terminal and chassis ground?

- Somewhere else?

Any help would be appreciated... ;-)
