Well, please let me know how it works out for you. That’s almost 1/4th the cost I was looking at to redo the old unit. Like you (I’m guessing) I’m a working man on a budget, I appreciate saving a few bucks where I can. It means more can get done somewhere else on the project.

Just a follow up, The sending unit is working fairly well. I did run into an issue early on though. The plug on the end of my sending unit wire was bad so the gauge wasn't working. I cut the plug off and now I am getting the pulsed 6v signal at the unit. I then crimped a terminal loop to the wire and secured it to the stud with a second nut. As I was tightening the nut, the flimsy seal popped out of place and the next time I filled up, the tank was pissing gas. I ended up draining the tank, pulling the sending unit and tightening everything back down making sure the seal was in place. Leak fixed.

The fuel gauge still works whenever it feels like it though and is not quite accurate. Not sure if that is the gauge or the fact that the sending unit's resistance range is 10-80 ohms vice the 10-73 ohms that the gauge is expecting. I picked up an aftermarket gauge to test but haven't put it in yet. Before I add ANOTHER aftermarket gauge (have tach, oil pressure, water temp, and AFR gauge already), I will pull the dash and remove and clean the OE gauge and contacts on the PCB to see if that helps. We went on a trip the other day and the gauge said 1/4 tank so I stopped for fuel and instead of taking 12 gallons it took 6 so yeah.
