Product Review: A100 Fuel Sender For 67 Dart

Close as you will come to getting an OEM fuel sender..
Post 11, Arron Tate did an awsome wright up of the sender with some fantastic in tank photos.
This led me to buy one to see how it works out in the real world.
This might be the part number, it was on the shipping label.

Side view of the senders, you can see the new sender bends down more which makes sense due to its shape
The cage that holds the rheostate is nearly identical, some changes for how the board with the resistor wire on it mounts etc
Hard to see but the resistor board looks like the OEM unit
