Making Mismatched Fuel Sender and Gauge Work Using Meter Match

Today I install a Meter Match in the old Willys Jeep which is now using a tank and sender from a CJ7. This mix of parts will not work together unless calibrated using the Meter Match. The Meter Match can be used on fuel, oil, or water senders and gauges as long as they are resistance based to ground.

Barn Sprite Number 6 Thinks Pink

I decided to paint the Number 6 Barn Sprite because it looked terrible and needed to painted anyways. What better paint job to give it than one in tribute of one of the most colorful car gals of the 1960s Donna Mae Mims. Mims was the first female driver to win a National SCCA Championships in it’s then 20 year history.
