Stewart Warner 385B-F Details

Choosing a fuel level sender:

What brand of gauge will you use?
Speedway carries the excellent Stewart Warner brand of fuel senders. They are compatible with all Stewart Warner and Classic Instruments fuel gauges.

How deep is your tank?
Measure the depth of your tank where the fuel sender arm will be located. Choose the sender with an operating range which includes that dimension.

Right or left-swing arm?
Most fuel gauge senders attach with a 5-screw pattern. 2 of these screws are farther apart than the other 3. Position yourself such that the 2 wider-spaced holes are closest to your chest; a right side sender will have the arm (or "float") extending to your right, and a left side sender will have the arm extending to your left. This only matters when replacing an existing sender. A first-time installation can use either one, just drill the mounting holes accordingly.

OHM
The OEM’s used several different resistance ranges for fuel level indication over the years. However, some of the aftermarket gauge manufacturers follow the common Stewart Warner values (240 ohm empty – 33 ohm full). The gauges and senders that we carry (385 & 391’s) use these standard Stewart Warner values.

Perfect replacement

FIxed my Stewart Warner Fuel Gauge problem of inaccurate reading. Measured the ohm's on my old one and realized it was out of range (440 ohms) Slipped this one in (easy) and back to correct readings again. Only adjustment was cutting the float rod to correct length.

Difficult to assemble

While trying to attach the float arm to the sending unit, I broke the rheostat. The sending arm must be bent at a PERFECT 90 degree bend. And flattened at the bend. very difficult to accomplish. Got it right with the second unit.
