[TR] TR3 Fuel gauge test

[60TR3A]

Well I ordered a new sender unit from Moss & when I tested fresh out  
of the box I got 0 Ohms resistance no matter where I moved the float.   
But given that the resistance device sits down in the gasoline I  
thought I would try in in my 2/3s full tank.  Still getting 0 Ohms.

Before I called Moss I wanted to test the gauge as well.  So I thought  
I would go down to the local Radio Shack & buy a couple of resistors  
to check it out as well.  Since the gauge is supposed to show full at  
about 70 Ohms I thought I would try to get something close to 70 &  
something around 35.  Given I took my last physics class 40+ years ago  
any advice would be very much appreciated.
