Thanks for the tip.  Yes, it is a unique part for that year 1964. Does the resistor wire that Nissan used have some sort of coating.  I ask because I saw a write-up for a VW bus where they were re-winding their sender.  It said that the windings can't touch. Their example had much bigger wire, used epoxy to hold the windings in place and had a few millimeters of spacing between windings.

Charlie,

The wire is not copper, but a resistance wire. I think it is only connected on one end. I suppose the wiper is grounded. I am not familiar w/1500s so it may be different. You should be able to measure the resistance of a length of the wire, convert it to ohms/foot & find some replacement. Is the sender different from the 1600 sender?

Peace,
Pat

Has anyone ever rebuilt the copper winding on a 1964 1500 fuel gauge?  The wire from the winding broke off my tank sender.  I ended up soldering it back onto the windings and believe that it used to be a solid strand of copper from end to end.  Since the winding is the connection between the ground and the gauge, I do not believe that the long end of the winding grounds to the housing.  The 1500 is a positive ground and grounding the wire from the gauge pegs it full.  Unlike later years, there is no resistor between the sender and the gauge on a 1500.  A dab of solder now goes across sever of the windings.  The most that the gauge will  show now is 1/2 full.  At least it's not showing 1/2 empty!  ;-)

Any ideas on how to go about this and what wire to use would be appreciated.
