AFAIK none of them work right. They are "generic" in the sense that the windings on the board are a linear progression -- the factory ones had a varying winding pattern to compensate for the internal shape of the tank (which has the spare tire cutout in the upper half). They also use a different pivot point for the float arm, and the arm is shorter. You would practically need to interpose a custom computer algorithm to make it read correctly on the gauge. Save your old ones and rebuild them! Even if the board is crap, you could use it as a pattern to wind a new board that would at least be close to accurate.

One of the problems I experienced with aftermarket was the throw was less than OE and would read full for 1/4 to 1/2 tank. no way to adjust for that with a add on gauge adjuster. ( same for the bottom end after the fuel level would be below the float)
A member here setup a display that shows this... do a search, it was in the last few months.

I have found that aftermarket sending units are linear. Mopar sending units are all non-linear. If you have an old OEM one, you can get them rebuilt. Here's a pic of the non-linear type.
