Bob, If the 6 volt tank units are good, will they not still work with the original gauge if the correct rated resistor is fitted before the gauge.(power feed side)

My understanding is that the original senders should work. Ohms are Ohms. The "special" part about Chevs is that they used a different resistance range than either their contemporary Ford or more modern Chevs. I think the resistance range used on Chevs with the commercial gauge cluster and the round instruments were the same 0-30 Ohms. The important part is that the gauge and sender need to match (hence the voltage reducer at the gauge to make it match the original sender).
