Finding an Off the Shelf Gas Tank Fuel Sender for 47 Packard

Since one of my Fuel Senders got eaten up by rust. I went in search of an replacement. I liked the sender that Howard (HH56) made, see:https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=11626&viewmode=flat&order=ASC&type=&mode=0&start=240

But I was looking for something a little more plug and play as we say at work. So I tried a couple and made a video if anybody would like to try it themselves.
I went with the 16 - 158 35 - 240 ohm sender and it looks like it will work out pretty good. All that is needed it a little filing and adding a resistor to get the gas gauge calibrated to Empty.
Watch and tell me what you think.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UDLFoF2Evo

P.S. Sorry about that 35 to 240 ohms.
