STEVE i'M NOT SURE WHY YOU NEED TO KNOW THE OHMS, ARE YOU STILL 6VOLTS?IF SO OHMS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR FLOAT.HAVE YOU PULLED THE SENDER OUT OF THE TANK?tO TEST THE SENDER LAY THE SENDING UNIT ON A GOOD GROUND AWAY FROM THE OPEN TANK PUT POWER TO THE SENDER AND MOVE THE FLOAT ARM UP AND DOWN EASY,DOES THE GAGE ON THE DASH READ?IF NOT TAKE THE POWER WIRE FROM THE GAGE AND GROUND IT NOW DOES THE GAGE READ FULL?IF NOT THE DASH GAGE IS BAD
WITH POWER BACK ON THE SENDER AND DASH DOES NOT READ SENDER IS BAD.IF ALL IS WORKING INSTALL
FLOOT AND REASEMBLE.HOPE THIS HELPS "OLDSCHOOL"
