Easisest way to do this is match an aftermarket sending unit with and aftermarket gauge. None of the aftermarket gauges match the sending units ohm range of our senders. A fuel cell will make the sender install fairly easy. An Autometer sender and fuel gauge is about half the price of a new oem sender.
