My old C-15A had one ford tank and one Chev tank. Of course the senders didn't cross match, so I had to have one Chev and one Ford sender, but they needed to both go into the same gauge.

Of course the ohms were different between them, so a full Chev tank reading looked like 1/4 tank when switched ot the Ford tank.

I had to add a resister to the lower circuit ( can't remember now) and then calibrate it to work with the chev gauge. I believe I used a small potentiometer to tweak the settings.

Any one else run into this situation?

Hey Wayne

I bought the sender in the first link that Phil posted and was very surprised to find that it almost fits perfectly in the hole in the tank for the original sender, with a little silicone and drilling one hole it will fit perfect.
