Fuel sending unit replace

Also if your handy with a soldering iron, you may be able to diagnose and fix your old one. The one I pulled had the pointer/contact on the rheostat rotted off. I could have soldered a new finger onto it and it would probably have worked again but the sock was stuffed with rust and I had already ordered a new one. Its just transformer style wire wrapped around a frame and a swinging contactor as well as a float.
Im leaning to replacing it with a cheap unit and fix the old one.
