i have a fuel cell that i want to fit into a dodge, but the guage sender unit is for a GMC and the ohms reading is the wrong way round (0 when empty, 90 when full) mopar should be 0 when full, is there any way to convert convert it, IE fit a resistor or
?.

Use the gauge from a GMC is probably the easiest solution.

Reverse the connections. if it is single wire connection One end is connected to the body/earth. the other to the gauge/positve. If you can connect them so the wire from the coil on the sender that goes to positive is grounded and the wire that connects to the body/earth connect to the live this will reverse the senders readings.
hope that helps
